The ResultTable template is a simple way to start a table to list track and field or sport of athletics achievements on an athlete's article. For an in-use example, see List of Usain Bolt's races.

Parameters
The template has eleven parameters, all of them optional.
 * width This amends the overall width of the achievement table in percent of the page width. This defaults to 71, which is the optimal width for usage alongside the MedalTableTop series of templates
 * nation This allows for a caption showing the nation that the athlete represented at the competition. This should only be used when an athlete has represented multiple nations. Note that where different nations are represented as separate table with a new caption should be used as this helps accessibility for screen readers. This option defaults to no caption.
 * DateOff, CompetitionOff, LocationOff, PlacingOff, EventOff, ResultOff, NotesOff, RefOff Used to remove the respective column from the table.
