List of world under-18 bests in athletics

Under-18 World Best Performances in the sport of athletics are the best marks set in competition by athletes aged 17 or younger throughout the entire calendar year of the performance. The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) maintains an official list for such performances, but only in a specific list of outdoor events.[note 1] All other records, including all indoor records, shown on this list are tracked by statisticians not officially sanctioned by the world governing body. These age category records were formerly called World Youth Bests.

Shengfei might have gone over 33" 83.8 cm hurdles, which are higher than the specified 76.2 cm hurdles the IAAF record declares Chernova went over. IMO, 83.8 is higher than 76.2 and should qualify as having cleared (more than) 76.2. But this is the IAAF who makes the final decision
