Previous to that everybody was in a random draw.įor these reasons, for example, any number of performances that better 20.04 for the men’s 200 (the record for lane 1) can be judged most unlikely to have been run in that lane, even if one does not know the exact lane in which they were achieved. Note also that since ’88, Olympic and World Championships runners who have performed best in the prior round have been given lanes 3–6. 400H star Karsten Warholm, who by request has the records from lanes 7 & 8 is another notable exception. ![]() This confidence stems in part from the knowledge that marquee athletes are most unlikely to have been asked to run in lanes 1 or 8 (or 9) in invitational meetings, and-except for Michael Johnson’s preference for lane 2 in the 400 in the early ’90s-are generally placed in a middle lane. Though 100% certainty has not yet been achieved for all of the listed marks, I have a high degree of confidence that virtually all of them are, in fact, the records. Only when the lane of every mark that could be a record for a lane has been determined, can one have 100% confidence in the results. My method was, on the basis of preliminary research, tentatively to determine a “record” for each lane in each event and then to seek to find out the lane of every performance in that event which surpassed the tentative record. The trick is to be sure that it is the best. It is not too difficult to find a world-ranking performance achieved in each lane. In contrast to the usual research technique common in our discipline-a search for superlatives of one sort or another-this project involved more a process of elimination. The World Championships in Eugene saw the establishment of 7 new standards. THIS COMPILATION - updated Auglists the best performance known to have been achieved in each lane of the track in each of the curve-affected events (200, 400, 400H, 4×1), for men and women. ![]() Karsten Warholm holds the bests for 3 lanes in the 400H, this 46.87 in ’20 setting a mark for the fastest time ever out of lane 8 his 2 WRs - 46.70 & 45.94 - give him lanes 7 & 6. ![]()
