21/24, what'd you get?
15/24... thought Michael Johnson still had the 400 WR. Knew an American had the 110 hurdle record but couldn't think of Merritt. Totally forgot Powell's WR Long Jump. So the best score for me would have been 16/24.
missed- 110h, 400h, open 400, long jump, shot, hammer, javelin....
Discus

I guess you missed the 2016 Olympic Games where Van Niekerk broke the record in the 400.
My problem with that was spelling. For instance, the name just above.
Also, I think Levallinie holds the WR in the PV not Bubka.
Bubba still has the outdoor best. Levallenie's jump was indoors.

Yup, Also they have Kenenisa misspelled

They really expect me I kee track of the old javelin record. Also, I don't care what the 1000 record is.
21/24, didn't know Discus, Old Jav, or Hammer

couldn't remember the 1000, or how to spell the steeple guy's middle name

16.
19/24, I knew none of the throws. They also gave me the pole vault for typing in Bubka.
16/24
I got every running event, plus long jump and Decathlon. Gave up on all the other field events
22/24 old javelin got me, and couldn't the spelling of shaheen.
21/24... I think I misspelled the soviet hammer thrower but I'll just admit I had no idea who had the 400mh or the old javelin records.
I got 10/24.
I would have done better if they gave me names and asked for times.
I got 19/24 but had to look up how to spell Lavillenie and Sotomayor.

Well, he is the only man in history to clear 6.14, the height that was listed.
The answers...
1- doper,
2- doper,
3- doper,
4- Rudisha,
5- doper,
6- doper
etc
23/24. missed a javelin record.
oddly for the longest time I couldn't remember Komen's name but I remembered Sedykh and tried a few spellings until I got it. For Shaheen, I wasn't getting the spelling right so I tried Stephen Cherono and Shaheen came up.
18/24 but I cheated and looked up how to spell Shaheen and Lavillenie. Didn't know 400h or some field events.
