Richard Chelimo only held the 10K record for 5 days before Yobes Ondeiki broke it. That's not your question, and it has nothing to do with the thread. But it does prove that I at least know something about track.

So there!

The first 10.1 (Willie Williams) camein the heats of hte CISM meet in Berlin in '56. The next day Ira Murchison ran 10.1 in the semis, and then the next day Williams ran 10.1 in the final.

when did anyone say they ever doubted your provenance ?

Bad Hammy answered one question that came to mind: Has the record ever been broken twice in the same meet?

But to revise it, has the SAME athlete ever broken the record twice in the same meet?

Also, less than a day:
10.0 Roger Bambuck FRA Sacramento Jun 20, 1968
9.9 Jim Hines USA Sacramento Jun 20, 1968
9.9 Charlie Greene USA Sacramento Jun 20, 1968
9.9 Ronnie-Ray Smith USA Sacramento Jun 20, 1968

Don't know for a fact, but assuming heat for Bambuck, finals for the others.

Awesome! Bad Hammy is the new Texas of the Current Events forum.

[bad hammy]

Note that at the 68 Sacramento meet, the answers above are technically incorrect, because the 10.0s of Greene and Bambuck tied the existing record, but did not break it.

Not true of the Mexico City meet, although the 10.02 of Greene was never ratified. Hines' 9.95 is the first officially ratified electronic time

That vacation did you a lot of good, Hammy!

You gotta love this quote from Powell:

"Tell Justin (Gatlin) congratulations (but) the record is only on loan,"

Things are really going to heat up out there. It's obvious that Justin can go faster. Just imagine if he had gotten out with Fasuba and accelerated similarly. Also, Powell's 9.95 was into a -0.6m/s headwind.
