Bernd Rehpenning does Euromasters stats.
Americans are dominant in masters track, but nobody holds a candle to Eurovets on masters stats. Latest evidence is the recently updated
All-Time Top 10 Lists. Good example is
100 meters, which goes up to M105. (But only one deep in that age group.) And they keep trying to improve data, saying: “If better results or missing performances (detectable) were achieved, we ask them to send to the following email address:
bernd.rehpenning@htp-tel.de” Here’s how the
system evolved: “The idea of creating a table of the ’10 European Best Masters ever’ started in 2004. It was
Ton Peters from the Netherlands who asked statisticians in Europe to send him names and results of all different age groups. Unfortunately Ton Peters passed away before he could finish the collection of all results.
Bernd Rehpenning — the man who created the age factors for WMA during the last years – has started this project with new energy. At the beginning the engine had problems to move but step by step it started to keep on going. Now Bernd Rehpenning has found his Style of collecting the results and put them in a new table that has been visible on EMA website since April 2015.” USATF Masters T&F could do the same. Just ask: Who wants to help?

Great to see that Ottaviani set the M100+ 200m best on his 100th birthday!
This is great! Thanks for the post Ken. My only wish would be that the European and World all-time rankings would include the Mile run. I know that is primarily a USA distance, but it is a highly significantand recognizeable race distance. Maybe you could make a suggestion to someone Ken?
Thank you Bernd Rehpenning.
