Talk:List of world under-18 bests in athletics

Mlenga's 100 metre
Two questions (1) if it happened all the way back in March 2016, why isn't it on his IAAF profile, which (and that's even more curious) lists an April 2016 time (10.45) as his PB? And (2) if there was no wind gauge as you indicate, this will never be ratified by the IAAF. Compare Mark Lewis-Francis's 9.97 s during the 2001 World Championship (!) quarterfinals that never made it as WJR. --bender235 (talk) 23:04, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi bender235. Here my answers: (1) I don't know why. I just know IAAF didn't update a lot of profiles. Some senior world records from January and February are still unratified too. Moreover there is no ratification process like senior or junior. Maybe the sources are wrong, but Adrian is IAAF statistician isn't he? (2) Maybe there was wind measurement but source do not give an answer yet. So maybe it never will be ratified. When it is clear let's change the colour. If time is correct I think its worth noting here.Montell 74 (talk) 19:54, 27 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Well, it's not like Mlenga's IAAF profile hasn't been updated. It obviously has been after April 2016, not listing the time you added to this article. For me that is suspicious enough to leave the time out for now. --bender235 (talk) 21:54, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I may be wrong, but I seem to recall seeing the 10.19 by Mlenga on the IAAF site; which, since it's not there now, would mean that IAAF has nuked it. I think I've figured out why; these two documents 1, 2 are the key. Document 1 gives detailed results for the relevant meet and shows that Mlenga did in fact run 10.19, and adds heat and semi-final times reasonably consistent with that. Document 2, though, reveals the whole truth: namely, the 10.19 was hand-timed and shown with non-standard 0.01 accuracy for easier sorting; it also confirms that no wind readings were taken. In other words, the Mlenga time is basically 10.2h (NWI) and doesn't belong anywhere near a record list. Sideways713 (talk) 14:23, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Decathlon (youth)
Why doesn't Niklas Kaul's 8002 points in Cali 2015 classify as a record? It was marked only CR --Pelmeen10 (talk) 21:14, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

800m Timothy Kitum.
800m Record is wrong. Timothy Kitum ran 1:42.53, at the London Olympics on the 9 August, 2012. He was born 20 November, 1994. He was 17yrs old. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.36.134.73 (talk) 19:18, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * 800m record is correct. Timothy Kitum turned 18 in 2012, so his mark was not eligible for an under-18 World Best performance.Montell 74 (talk) 17:59, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
