Nice quiz. 100m hurdles record holder is from Nigeria, not USA. You can also add 3000m, decathlon and heptathlon records.

Thanks for pointing out, forgot to change nationality when updating Womens hurdles. Have omitted 3000m as it's no longer contested at WC/Olympics and the multi-event records as the point system doesn't provide much context

Good quiz (should've got more!) Perhaps Nenadbs meant the 3,000m steeplechase. Thanks, Baz.
