Preliminary remarks on the point
values : For orientation and classification of the performance, the points achieved in 1985 according to the current evaluation system are also listed. After that, there would only have been one change in the result: the athletes in ranks seventeen and eighteen would have had to swap places. But these comparisons are only indicative, because the different standards of the time must apply as a basis.
