Notes
- ↑ Score calculated with the scoring tables in use at the time the record was set.
- ↑ Score calculated with the current (1998) tables.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 Named Caitlyn Jenner since gender transition in 2015.[2]
- ↑ 4.0 4.1 Originally recorded as 8,797 points and thus not a world record using the then-current 1962 tables. Based on the revised tables which took effect in April 1985, Thompson's Los Angeles performance would have scored more than Hingsen's Mannheim performance (8,846 to 8,832) but the IAAF had decreed the pre-revision record could only be broken by a mark set after the changeover. In 1986, Thompson's 110 metres hurdles] time was revised from 14.34 to 14.33 and his score increased by one point, so he retrospectively joined Hingsen as record holder under the old tables and replaced him from the date of the new tables.[5][6]
