Usain Bolt beatingTyson Gay and setting a 100 m world record at the2009 World Championships in Athletics in BerlinWorld records inathletics are ratified byWorld Athletics . Athletics records comprise the best performances in the sports oftrack and field ,road running andracewalking .
Records are kept forall events contested at the Olympic Games and some others. Unofficial records for some other events are kept by track and field statisticians. The only non-metric track distance for which official records are kept is themile run .
The criteria which must be satisfied for ratification of a world record are defined by World Athletics in Part III of the Competition Rules.[ 1] Olympic Games .
The criteria include:
David Rudisha en route to his 800 m world record at the2012 Summer Olympics The dimensions of the track and equipment used must conform to standards. In road events, the course must be accurately measured, by a certified measurer. Except in road events (road running andrace walking ), the performance must be set in a single-sex race,[ 2] [ 3] All team members in arelay race must be of the samenationality . Pacemakers are allowed, provided they have not been lapped; lapped athletes must give way.Drug testing immediately after the performance is now required for ratification of a record. Existing records which predate this requirement are still extant. Athletes who pass the immediate test but are later found to have been using banned substances have their performances invalidated.In running events up to 200 m in distance and in horizontal jump events,wind assistance is permitted only up to 2.0m/s . Indecathlon orheptathlon , average wind assistance of less than 2.0 m/s is required across all applicable disciplines; and maximum of 4.0 m/s in any one event. As an exception, according to rule 36.2, specific event organizers may choose to ignore wind velocity readings exclusively for their specific event records (e.g. a performance in a 100 m race at a meeting with a wind reading of +2.4 m/s may be considered that specific meeting record, but will not be considered as a world record).[ 1] In running events up to 800 m in distance,photo finish fully automatic timing is required. There is no restriction on altitude; since the thinner atmosphere of higher altitude provides less air resistance, locations such asMexico City andSestriere have previously been the sites of records in the sprint and jump events. Seeeffects of high altitude on humans . Records set at high altitude venues are often marked with an "A" though that does not disqualify it as a record. Under those circumstances, a "sea level" best is also tracked by statisticians. Long-distance races run at altitude, with less oxygen available to the athlete, have been shown to be to the athlete's disadvantage. In road events, the course is not required to be a circuit, but the overall decrease in elevation between the start and finish shall not exceed 1:1000, i.e. 1 m/km. In road events, the start and finish points of a course, measured along a theoretical straight line between them, shall not be further apart than 50% of the race distance. Witnessing a world record brings great pleasure for athletics fans, and athletes'personal sponsors and promoters of major meetings such as theDiamond League and its predecessor, theIAAF Golden League have offered bonuses to athletes breaking a record.
Somemiddle-distance runners have specialized in acting aspacemakers in longer races, receiving a fee without even finishing the race, and possibly a bonus if a record results. This is a useful occupation for athletes who are capable of running accurately to a specified pace, but not capable of the fastest times to become champions in their own right.
In thepole vault record bonuses create an incentive for an athlete capable of beating a record by a large margin to instead break it by the minimum amount (onecentimetre ), multiple times, at multiple meetings, in order to accumulate multiple bonuses. This was done bySergey Bubka andYelena Isinbayeva in the men's and women's pole vault respectively,[ 4] [ 5] Armand Duplantis has been emulating the practice.[ 6]
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone being greeted with a "World records are my favorite food" sign at the2022 World Athletics Championships World Athletics (then IAAF) commenced the recognition of world records in 1912, and indoor world records after 1987. In 2000, IAAF rule 260.18a (formerly 260.6a) was amended, so that "world records" (as opposed to "indoor world records") can be set in a facility "with or without roof". This rule was not applied retroactively,[ 7] pole vault , women's 2000 m and women'striple jump . The women's vault record has been advanced 9 times indoors by three different women, each ratified as a world record. The last record to be set indoors was in 2004.Sergey Bubka 's 1993 pole vault world indoor record of 6.15 m was not considered to be a world record, because it was set before the new rule came into effect. Bubka's world record of 6.14 m, set outdoors in 1994, was surpassed by two different men since 2000, initially byRenaud Lavillenie in 2014 with a 6.16 m indoors mark, and most recently byArmand Duplantis in 2025 with a 6.30 m outdoors mark.
In 2023, World Athletics decided to introduce the new term 'short track' to replace the previous term 'indoor' to describe events and performances that are set on a 200 m track.[ 8]

World best performances [ edit ] Records in events without World Athletics-ratified world records are typically referred to as world best performances or world bests.
While races over imperial measured distances were very common in the first half of the 20th century, only themile remains common today due to its historical prominence in track and field: all other imperial measured distance races became increasingly rare, and the IAAF deleted these events from the world record books in 1976.
In November 2019,World Athletics (WA; formerly IAAF) also deleted several long-distance events (track distances of 20,000 metres, 25,000 metres and 30,000 metres[ 228]
Some road racing distances and indoor variations of outdoor events fall outside of WA's lists, and records set in uncommon events usually do not adhere to the strict criteria found in WA-ratifiable events: one example is the 150 metres record, which was set byUsain Bolt on a specially-made straight track, while previous performances (such as theBailey–Johnson 150-metre race ) were completed on a traditional circuit which included a partial bend in the track.
The40-yard dash , a standard acceleration evaluation forAmerican football players, does not fall within the usual criteria of athletics racing events. In most 40-yard dashes, reaction times are not recorded as timing starts only once the player is in motion, and the standards for timing a "football 40" are so lax and inconsistent that a real world record cannot be claimed.
Performances are also hand-timed and calculated to 1/100 of a second, although studies have shown human beings simply cannot react consistently or accurately enough for this to be a valid method, and even those using light beams are timed by the motion of the athlete, removing the normal factor of reaction time; further, football 40-yard dashes are usually run on a turf surface as opposed to anall weather track . All of these factors make track and "football 40" performances essentially impossible to compare.
The world best time for a "football 40" is 4.17 byDeion Sanders , while the extrapolated best for an Olympic-level athlete (including reacting to a starting gun) is 4.24 byMaurice Greene at the2001 World Championships in Athletics .[ 229] [ 230] Christian Coleman reportedly ran a 4.12.[ 231]

Combined event disciplines [ edit ] World Athletics recognises world bests achieved in individual disciplines during acombined event .[ 444] decathlon (men) andheptathlon (women). Athletes must score at least 7000 points in a decathlon in order to have their performance recognised.[ 445]

Javelin specifications [ edit ] The men's javelin specification was changed with effect from 1986, and the women's from 2000. The purpose was to reduce the number of illegal flat landings, but a side-effect was to reduce the distance travelled. The prior world records in individual men's and women's javelin were invalidated, but the prior records in decathlon and heptathlon were not.[ 454]
The old specification records for men's and women's javelin were as follows:
The current decathlon world record was set with the current javelin specification.
The best performance in heptathlon using the new specification javelin is:
The best javelin throw in a heptathlon was also set using the old specification:
