Topic started by: eierluke user	Posted: Aug 12, 2011 Can someone help me out? I've just taken a look at the IAAF All Time decathlon list. Some NWI (= no wind measurement to my understanding) caught my attention. Since I'm german it's a shame that there are especially some top results completed in germany that have some NWI within their single results (all results are from the 80ies). Among them are: Jürgen Hingsen 8825 (a former WR) Uwe Freimuth 8792 Siggi Wentz 8762 Apaichev 8709 (in Urs) Guido Kratschmer (8667 a former WR) How comes that these results are accepted on the top lists and were in the 80ies even ratified as official World Records? Do the rules of how to measure the wind in an event changed since? IP: 31.18.5...
eierluke user	Posted: Aug 12, 2011 Or does NWI mean, that the allowed marks were not exceeded and the detailed measurement results in m/s just aren't available? IP: 31.18.5... Posts from the same IP: eierluke
Christoph user	Posted: Aug 13, 2011 NWI=no wind instrument (afaik), possibly "no wind indicator" or "no wind Information" I was always wondering about ratified WRs with no wind information... Btw, Freimuth wind readings from his 8792PB are known (0.4/1.2/1.9) Hingsen 8825: 0.0/?/? (100m with, LJ without wind reading (same day)?) Wentz 8762: ?/?/? Both from Bernahausen 1983 - Hingsen's heat with wind reading, Wentz's without??? In the same meet Rizzi 8326 ?/?/2.8 Apaichev 8709 ?/?/? From Neubrandenburg 1984 - But in the same meet: Freimuth 8616 with 0.6/2.0/2.6 and Voss 8513 with ?/?/2.6 Kratschmer 8667: 2.4/?/? From Bernhausen 1980 - in the same meet Wentz 7876 +/?/+, Hingsen +/+/? "+" usually meant between 2.0 and 4.0 ? --> I seems that there have been wind readings in all of the meets but the exact values are lost... IP: 84.152.2...
