Paula Raddcliffe: toltole il record del mondo del 2003!

21-09-2011 08:38 - Corsa su strada e la Fidal.
Dalla AIMS riceviamo il comunicato emesso il 20 settembre a Londra a seguito del direttivo IAAF tenutosi a Daegu al termine dei mondiali di atletica leggera.

Paula Raddcliffe mantiene il record del mondo sulla maratona ma non più quello conseguito nel 2003 a Londra (2h15´25") che resta il ´world best´ ma quello di Londra 2005 (2h17´42").

Ciò per distinguere il risultato ottenuto in una gara totalmente femminile senza aiuti di lepri maschili (in una gara ´mista´) come avvenuto nel 2003.

Questa è la comunicazione emessa ieri:

LONDON - 20 September 2011
Background:
At the 2011 International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Championships in Daegu, South Korea, the IAAF Congress passed a motion to change the standard by which women athletes achieve world record performances in road races. By the new criterion, only times achieved in all-women competitions would be acknowledged for world record purposes, and performances achieved in mixed conditions would now be referred to only as "world best".

The new criterion means that Paula Radcliffe´s 2003 Marathon mark of 2:15:25 is no longer the world record but now a world best, and that her 2005 London time of 2:17:42 is the world record.

Statement from the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races and the World Marathon Majors:
The boards of both World Marathon Majors (WMM) and Association of
International Marathons (AIMS) have reviewed the recent Congress decision and believe that it does not represent what is required by the sport of road running.

They further believe that there should be two world records for women´s road running performances, separately recognising those achieved in mixed competition and women´s only conditions.

AIMS and WMM will continue to acknowledge both types of performances as world records and will discuss this matter further with the IAAF,
recognising that:
a) The vast majority of women´s road races throughout the World are held in mixed conditions.
b) The current situation where the fastest time is not now recognised as a record is confusing and unfair and does not respect the history of our sport.

WMM and AIMS congratulate the IAAF for introducing world road records and for continuing to support road running through its labelling scheme.

Notes:
AIMS represents more than 300 races worldwide, the vast majority of them road races. WMM members are Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago and New York.
Both bodies are represented on the IAAF Road Running Commission and have leadership roles within road running.
Performances considered for records, rankings and qualifying purposes must be achieved in accordance with IAAF Competition Rules. These include rules on course measurement, decrease in elevation between the start and finish, maximum distance between the start and finish lines. An application for a world record will only be considered if the athlete concerned undertook doping control at the event.
