What's an NOC?

It's a National Olympic Committee. Maybe many readers would have preferred another term like Country or Team in the article. PrimeHunter (talk) 03:20, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

world record incorrect[edit]

At the time (as now) the world record for the Men's 4x400 meter relay was 3:54.20 and was set at the 1998 Goodwill Games. Here is a reference for that:

You mean 2:54.20 but see 4 × 400 metres relay#Records which says "The IAAF announced on 12 August 2008 that they had rescinded the world record of 2:54.20 set by the USA (Jerome Young, Antonio Pettigrew, Tyree Washington, Michael Johnson) on 22 July 1998 after Pettigrew admitted to using human growth hormone and EPO between 1997 and 2003." Here is a source: [1].

The official world record at http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/records/inout=o/discType=5/disc=4X4/detail.html says 2:54.29 like our article. PrimeHunter (talk) 13:37, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah! that clears it up. Thanks (belatedly). Originalname37 (Talk?) 18:20, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
