Notes

  1. [a]
    by federation source; 4:51.52 by IAAF source
  2. [b]
    1 April 2018 by IAAF profile, probably false
  3. [c]
    by IAAF source, with additional hand-timing for 100m (10.6) and 400m (49.4) Poelman scored 8366 pts, which is recognised by federation
  4. [d]
    by official result source; 1:21:21 by federation, probably mistake
  5. [e]
    by federation source; 20 November 2005 by IAAF source
  6. [f]
    because mark was set on oversized track IAAF recognises Alana Barbers time of 14:49.34 on 14 February 2016 in Birmingham as record
