	World record progression 100 metres men - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first world record in the 100 m for men (athletics) was recognised by the International Association of Athletics Federations in 1912
		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 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.

		After a mini-tantrum and a minor health scare in the morning, Lenton stole the world mark from Henry in the Commonwealth Games trials at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, and then declared that this time she intended to hang on to it for a while.
		She wandered away to watch and, when she saw Lenton spring off the turn half a second beneath world record pace, announced her world mark of 53.52 seconds was going down.
		The last time Lenton set the world record, at the 2004 Olympic trials, she held it only until Henry stole it back in Athens a few months later.

		As world records go, this was a stunner, by any measure: after new global standards were set by Jade Edminstone and Libby Lenton over the first two days of the Australian Commonwealth Games trials in Melbourne, Leisel Jones axed 1.18sec off her own world record over 200m breaststroke to clock 2:20.54.
		In Melbourne, Jones closed the divide to 11.5sec, suggesting that either she has leapt a generation or that the men's event, with the dolphin kick allowed, is due for a drop.
		Last summer they won 10 world titles, and at a time when Australia's men look to have lost their edge, the latest success story from Down Under looks evermore like a female phenomenon.

	Second Moment: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics Column: Will Women Soon Outrun Men?
		According to Woods, Whipp and Ward used the world record track times (the mean running velocity in meters/ minute) for men and women from beginning of the century to 1992 for the 200, 400, 800, 1500, 5000, and 10000 meter events, as well as the marathon.
		Given that mean speed differences between the 100m and 200m events are mostly due to the relatively greater importance of the first few strides in the former event, this means that past this date the fastest humans will be women marathoners as even women sprinters will have lower mean speeds.
		Today, two years after the predicted date of intersection, according to runnersworld.com the men’s marathon record is 2:05:42 (Oct. 99), while the women’s record is 2:20:43 (Sept 99).
