From 1975, the IAAF accepted separate automatically electronically timed records for events up to 400 metres. Starting January 1, 1977, the IAAF required fully automatic timing to the hundredth of a second for these events.[1]
Rod Milburn's 1972 Olympic gold medal victory time of 13.24 was the fastest recorded result to that time.
