Really no sport where the world record means less.   Don't they record the athlete's bodyweight before every competition? One would think it would be trivial to re-create the world record for each new weight class retroactively.

Very nice 4th place for Natalia Sidorowicz! 👍💪

What I don't see yet is a timetable, which is good to have because these races are usually run in blocks and there can be large gaps between them for medal ceremonies, tears'n'hugs, dimwitted "and how do you feel about tripping just before the line, blowing a certain Gold and finishing fourth"-type questions etc.
