Where present, the "Auto" column gives a fully automatic time that was additionally recorded where the ratified mark was hand-timed,/from which the ratified mark was rounded to the 10th of a second, depending on the rules then in place.
Auto times to the hundredth of a second were accepted by the IAAF for events up to and including 10,000 m from 1981. However, Henry Rono's 27:22.4, timed to the hundredth at 27:22.47, was not adjusted from 1981.
