Note on the indication of personal bests and personal bests of the season

In the source used here on the homepage of the European Athletics Association (EAA) , numerous performances are provided with the reference to a personal season best ( SB ) or personal best ( PB ). This addition is not found in other sources. In the sprint competitions, it cannot be determined whether the EAA's information refers to the exact electronic values ​​or to the official times rounded to tenths of a second, which in many cases makes a difference. In addition, these record comments on the EAA homepage are by no means always correct. For these reasons, this information is not included in the following summary of results.
