Records 1977–present
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.[1]
Rod Milburn's 1972 Olympic gold medal victory time of 13.24 was the fastest recorded result to that time.
