Anyone know? It can be male / female any event in T&F and in any age group? Who improved a WR (age group) the largest amount ( pertcentage ) in a single performance? |

How about Nadine O'Connor at age 67 raising the women's 65 pole vault record from 2.40 meters to 3.19 meters, an improvement of 33%? |

Nadine is a good candidate. Roald's question could be answered with al world record progressions at hand, but as far as I know no one has them. Good candidates can also be found in the oldest age classes, I think improvements of 50% or so can be found. I myself am no candidate, I only did improvements with 2 cm or less. One of my records has been beaten by 5 cm by a French lady. |

I would also go with Nadine, and due to the fact that the pole vault has a very short history as a women's event in the first place relative to almost any other event, any female masters competitor in the PV will fall into this category if they become fairly proficient at it. |
