Wind assisted results (0)

• Performances which are wind assisted or for which a wind reading is not available will be considered illegal. They shall be eligible for world rankings subject to a correction mechanism.
• Hand timing performances in 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 110m/100m Hurdles, 400m Hurdles and 4x100m Relay will be considered illegal.
• For the running events of 200m and over (including combined events), performances achieved on oversized tracks shall not be accepted.
• For the Combined Events at least one of these conditions must be met:
  
  • The wind velocity in any individual event shall not exceed plus 4 metres per second.
  • The average wind velocity (based on the algebraic sum of the wind velocities, as measured for each individual event, divided by the number of such events) shall not exceed plus 2 metres per second.

Higher average velocity was previously allowed as long as no individual event would exceed +4.0 m/s but the IAAF removed this rule in 2010.

On the website of Decathlon 2000 are used the following terms for wind assistance:
v event with wind >2.0 and <=4.0 and wind average for 3 events <=2.00 m/s
v. all events with wind <=4.0 m/s and wind average for 3 events > 2.00 m/s (IAAF rule since 01/01/2010)
w one event with wind >4.0 and wind average for 3 events <=2.00 m/s
W one event with wind >4.0 and wind average fir 3 events > 2.00 m/s (IAAF rule until 31/12/2009)
