Individual evidence

  1. ↑ At the Megede (Progression ..., page 28) performance is given as unofficial, at Holzhausen (100m run, page 7) as official.
  2. ↑ This achievement is classified by the Megede in Progression of World Best ... on page 95 as unofficial, at Holzhausen in the 5000m run / 10,000m run on page 7 as official.
  3. ↑ Ni Zhiqin's world record was not officially recognized because the People's Republic of China was not a member of the IAAF at the time.
  4. ↑ In 1933 Sievert had already set an unofficial world record, which was held as an official record for a long time. Ultimately, however, after correcting an incorrectly calculated number of points in the high jump, this record is worse than Bausch's performance. see: Manfred Holzhausen: World records and world record holders.
