Complete Videos of Track and Field World Records
March 27, 2008 by Jimson Lee
This video is a great collection of all the Men’s Track and Field World Records (excludes distances over 5000 meters or Multis).
Some of these videos are very rare, as I haven’t seen these in a long long time (i.e. the pole vault or high jump record)
This list has a lot of outstanding performances… let me correct that, ALL of them are outstanding!
The one I am impressed with is Randy Barnes shot put. The 16 pound stone explodes out of his arm like a cannon. So much, that after the first bounce, it flies out of the throwing area!
For history sake, I have to include the pre-modern day javelin with Uwe Hohn 104.80 meters 1984 Javelin World Record. The video is shown here on YouTube. A couple more feet and he would have killed the pole vault competitors waiting on the other aide of the apron!
- 100 meters 9.77 - Asafa Powell (record has since been broken)
- 200 meters 19.32 - Michael Johnson
- 400 meters 43.18 - Michael Johnson
- 800 meters 1:41.11 - Wilson Kipketer
- 1500 meters 3:26.00 - Hicham El Guerrouj

- 110mH 12.88 - Xiang Liu

Here is the link on YouTube. The music is good, too!
