Is Novlene Williams Mills pb 49.53 or 49.63???

I have always thought it was 49.63 but on alot of Eurosports vids they always list her pb as 49.53. Which one is right?

It's 49.63

But there's good reason for the confusion. I carried 49.53 for a few years before I yielded to peer pressure from other statisticians, who insisted that 49.63 was correct. The reason I carried 49.53? How about the "official" results from the meet!

400 m
Course 1
1 Zheng Zhihui CHN .91 56.71
2 Xiong Zhonghui CHN 27.1.89 57.51
Course 2
1 Novlene Williams JAM 26.4.82 49.53 0.270

I forget exactly what others said when I presented the above results to them, but I think the consensus was that the time was adjusted at a later date.

Thats a pretty big adjustment to make. Do you know where I can see a copy of the race?
