Why it's so fast

The women's 100 metres is the same problem as the men's: a start, a brief top speed, and a wind reading that has to be legal.

  1. Start and top speed

    There is not much time to recover a bad first step. The athletes at the top of this list are the ones who are both quick out of the blocks and still fast at 60 metres.

  2. The wind rule

    A legal mark is the one the all-time list keeps. The entry names the wind and the meet, because those are part of the result.

The list leads with Florence Griffith-Joyner.

This is how the category works. A note written for this entry appears here once it is in the database.

Context

Background

Julien Alfred's ranked women's 100 m time is 10.70 seconds at Zürich on 27 August 2026, wind -0.7 m/s. That is the personal best the World Athletics all-time list prints. Track & Field News's world all-time list prints the same time and date where this row has no note.

The list is one event. A mark from another distance is a different page. Wind above +2.0 m/s is not legal and is not stored. Lower is faster.
