[edit] Records post-1976

After 1976, the I.A.A.F. required fully automatic timing to the hundredth of a second for events 400 metres and under when submitted for record consideration. [1]

Jim Hines' 1968 Olympic gold medal victory was the fastest recorded fully electronic 100 meter race to that time.

Ben Johnson's 9.79 run at Seoul is included in this list though it was never ratified; Carl Lewis's two records at 9.93 were deemed by the I.A.A.F to have equalled the world record after Johnson's 9.83 time was rescinded; Lewis's 9.92 recognized as the world record from January 1, 1990.[1]

[edit] Record discrepancies

  • Charlie Paddock set a record of 10.2s for 110 yards (100.584 m) in 1921; this was never ratified as a 100 m record.[5]
  • Ben Johnson's time of 9.79 on 24 September 1988 was disallowed and never ratified as a record as he tested positive for stanozolol after the race. Johnson subsequently admitted to steroid use between 1981 and 1988, and his world record of 9.83 set on 30 August 1987 was rescinded by the IAAF Council in September 1989.
  • Tim Montgomery's time of 9.78 from 14 September 2002 was annulled following disqualification for banned drug use. By that time, however, it had been surpassed by Asafa Powell.
  • Justin Gatlin was briefly credited with an outright world record time of 9.76 from 12 May 2006 until 17 May 2006, but the IAAF later ratified the record as 9.77 as his time of 9.766 had erroneously been rounded down to the nearest hundredth instead of rounded up. This time made Gatlin co-world record holder with Asafa Powell. However, in 2007 this record was annulled following Gatlin's failed doping test.
