Records

Preliminary remark:
In these years there was a dichotomy in terms of best performances and records. Hand-stopped and electronically determined services were performed side by side. The official times were usually given in tenths of a second, which were rounded if electronic measurements were available. Due to the elimination of the reaction time of the timekeeper with electronic timekeeping, the discussion was about introducing a so-called pre-set value in order not to automatically improve the hand-stopped performance. But the correct specification of these times remained, which were later also officially listed with hundredths of a second after the decimal point.

Official records - given in tenths of a second

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) , a large number of services are provided with the reference to a personal best season ( 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.
