Can you be more consistent, please? Firstly these are World records, so they don't have to happen in the World Championships, Olympics or Commonwealth Games. You have included some events which never take place in any of those competitions anyway - e.g. one hour or half marathon - and have omitted several which do, for example the Decathlon, Hammer throw and all of the Race Walks. Quiz needs a revamp IMO.
