Kuznetsov set two decathlon world records under the scoring tables in use at the time: 8014 points in Krasnodar in 1958 and 8357 points in Moscow in 1959. The corresponding recalculated totals in the table above are 7653 and 7839 points.
The supplied archive does not give wind readings for his 100 m, long jump and 110 m hurdles personal bests, so their wind legality cannot be confirmed.
