Women's 60 metres world record progression

The following table shows the world record progression in the women's indoor 60 metres, as recognised by the IAAF.

The IAAF have officially ratified world indoor records since 1 January 1987. Previous to this, they were regarded as world indoor bests. As such, the existing world indoor best, Nelli Cooman's 7.00 secs, was deemed to be the inaugural world indoor record.[1]

  1. ↑ Nemesházi ran 7.3 in her heat at the European Indoor Games, and again in the first semi-final before Mitrochina ran 7.3 in the second semi-final. Both ran 7.3 again in the final; the photofinish gave Nemeshási first and Mitrochina second, with each woman being credited with equalling the world record.
  2. ↑ Telliez ran 7.39 in the first heat of the European Indoor Athletics Championships, Vogt ran 7.34 in the second heat, Richter ran 7.36 in the third heat, and Vogt ran 7.33 in the first semi-final, all of which were deemed to equal the existing world record of 7.3. Richter broke the world record with 7.29 in the second semi-final, and again with 7.27 in the final.
