Men's 200 metres world record progression

Men's 200 metres world record progression

The following table shows the world record progression in the men's 200 metres, as ratified by the IAAF. The IAAF maintained separate records for 200 m over a straight track and over a curved track. It discarded records for the former after 1976. The IAAF ratified the first record for 200 m (bend) in 1951. "y" denoted times for 220 yards (201.17 m) which were also ratified for the event.

To June 21, 2011, the IAAF has ratified 24 world records in the event.[1]

Records post-1977

From 1975, the IAAF accepted separate automatically electronically timed records for events up to 400 metres. Starting January 1, 1977, the IAAF required fully automatic timing to the hundredth of a second for these events.[2]

Tommie Smith's 1968 Olympic gold medal victory was the fastest recorded fully electronic 200 metre race to that time.
