2026 results ↗UNDERSTAND THE NUMBERS
Which championship record counts?
Olympic records
The best eligible marks set during the Summer Olympic Games—not necessarily the fastest or longest performances in history.
Outdoor World Championships
Records at World Athletics’ outdoor championships. Tokyo 2025 introduced significant new marks; the next editions may replace them.
Indoor World Championships
Championship marks from shorter-track indoor meets. The 200m was removed after 2004 and no longer belongs in the current-event board.
Records vs. eligibility
Wind, anti-doping decisions, relay team eligibility, event availability and ratification can affect listings. Historical race walks may no longer be on the program.
Frequently asked questions
Are Olympic records the same as world records?
No. An Olympic record must occur at the Olympic Games, while a world record can occur at an eligible meet anywhere.
What is the men’s Olympic 1500m record?
Cole Hocker ran 3:27.65 at Paris 2024 on August 6, 2024.
Can I search a relay using 4x400?
Yes. Type 4x400, 4 x 400, 4×400, 4 by 400, or 4*400; all match the same relay event in the record boards.
Why is there no indoor 200m championship record in the main boards?
The World Indoor Championships removed the 200m from its program after the 2004 edition. Historic results remain relevant, but are not current championship events.
OUR SOURCE PROCESS
Sources and scope.
We compare Olympic records with Olympedia’s event-level record register, and use World Athletics’ official 2025 outdoor and 2026 indoor championship releases for the latest major updates. Historical marks are checked against championship-record compilations. The source ledger describes the evidence limits.
Reviewed October 17, 2026. This is a curated reference—not a live feed or an official World Athletics/IOC publication. Date and championship classifications deserve checks against updated official record books before replacement.
