Including individuals' names?

[edit]

Shouldn't the lists on this page include the names of the relay runners? That would be interesting, for example to see how many records an athlete has been part of. Fomalhaut76 (talk) 13:49, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Paralympic records

[edit]

Shouldn't this include the disabled 4x100 as well? Pkeets (talk) 00:32, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mixed nationalities

[edit]

At present, all members of a relay team must be of the same nationality for the IAAF to ratify a world record. Apparently this was not the case in 1967 when USC set the record. If anyone can source the exact date of the change it would be worth adding. It was in force by 1972, whan another USC team failed to set the 4 × 220 yards record, this time with Don Quarrie as the Jamaican among the Americans.[1]

I believe it was the 1968 IAAF congress held at the Mexico Olympics changed the rule, probably with effect from 1 January 1969. The 1967–68 IAAF Handbook lacks rule 148(4)(k) of the 1969–70 edition: "A relay record may be made only by a team all of whose members are citizens of a single Member country." Both editions have Rule 10(3): "Alterations to the technical rules will normally only be considered by Congress every four years, at the time of the Olympic Games, and will not become effective until after the Games." jnestorius(talk) 10:44, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
