Notes
- Internal Recovery Time. During the hurdle races in Thailand, the official timing provider experienced serious technical issues. There were massive failures affecting the power supply and the automatic scoring system. The primary, fully automatic electronic times (FAT) could not be processed directly as usual. The federation had to rely on video analysis and secondary backup systems to determine the rankings and times.
