GER · Notes: competed under flag FRG (1949–89)Former nations
Some nations that no longer exist are merged under today’s code, and the notes give the flag each medallist competed under.
06
Relay splits
When split times are known, every runner’s split is listed in the notes of the relay result.
07
Adjusted times
Some marks were measured electronically later and adapted — mostly 1/10 s results converted to 1/100 s in earlier Olympic results.
08
e.g. 10.844 vs 10.846 · or xxo vs xoTies
Tie-break details are in the Notes column: thousandths in sprints, or attempt series in the vertical jumps.

Youth Olympics 2018
