Porto Alegre results are a royal pain! Apparently they’ve been updating a single file with each day’s results — leading to confusion over what’s new and old. On top of this, the Hy-Tek software they’re using has outdated records. Witness the W70 200-meter hurdles. The listed WMA record is 39.26 by Japan’s Noriko Nakamura at Lahti worlds in 2009, but the Porto Alegre results show a “WMA record” of 54.06. This apparently is a reference to the old 300 hurdles record for that age group. So ignore the supposed WR of 39.50 by South Africa’s Magdale Tomlinson in Monday’s final. However, Brazil’s Francisco Oliveira notched a WR in the M85 800 with his brilliant 3:17.45, beating the listed WR of 3:21.23 by Japan’s Yoshimitsu Miyauchi in 2009. Age-graded, the mark is equivalent to an open 1:41.86! In any case, here are results for women as of Monday. And here are results for men as of Monday.

Rain drenches Monday’s W35 400-meter hurdles final, won by Chile’s Tatiana Bravo (right) in 1:13.53. Venezuela’s Yulmis Sabariego (left) took silver.
