World Championships Records
It is the policy of the IAAF to recognise "an IAAF World Championship
Record" as the best performance acheived at a championship which
conforms to all criteria for World Records (IAAF Rule 148) except
that there is no obligatory doping control test. Therefore, wind-assisted
marks (see IAAF rules 148.9f and 148.12) should not be regarded as
Championship Records.
