There is a youth competition in Wales today. I saw a 7.2 mps reading in the 200m. Can't recall to have ever seen such a strong wind reading.

Competition is actually in Isle of Man
This year at my conference meet I ran into a wind of 9 m/s on the homestretch of the 400 m dash qualifying.
100m 9.87 William Snoddy USA Dallas 01.04.1978
Leonard Scott broke the world record at Sea Ray Relays at Tennessee one year, of course wind aided. Someone can probably post the exact wind, but it was rediculous. Don't know if Gatlin was in that race or not, but Scott won it.
theres a 9.9 hand timed +16.6 further down the list
22 9.9 +16.6 Christer Garpenborg SWE 12.02.52 1 Las Vegas 04.04.1976
This looks like it. I wonder if that guy calls himself a sub-10 100m runner? I sure would.
Did you see how many of the all-time windy marks were set at Eugene? Boatloads of athletes in the 9.7s/9.8s... Gay, Gatlin, Greene, Burrell etc.

That must convert to what, a 12.4?
I've personally raced in a +7.2. Of course that was for the sprinters...everyone else it was -7.2 on the backstretch, and much less on the homestretch: a big building shielded the tailwind!

True, I was at the cignus x-1 relays and witnessed this.
