Special thanks to Winfried Kramer, Editor of National Athletics
Records, Heinrich Hubbeling, Gérard Dumas, Mirko Jalava
<www.tilastopaja.org>, György Csiki and Michel Saint-Raymond
<www.athlerecords.net> for their many contributions to this list. I
should note that there is no common agreement on which countries and
territories should be included in such a list. I've chosen to include
only those with member federations listed by the IAAF and have used
Peter Matthews' ATFS Annual as my resource for those federations.
