Youth athletics
The distance, with different spacing between hurdles is also in use in the 11- to 12-year-old division, previously called the "Midget" division.[3]
History
First official time: 13.0 seconds, Ludmila Sychrová, Czechoslovakia, July 6, 1926
First official world record: 12.8 seconds, Eva von Bredow, Germany, June 14, 1927
First runner under 12 seconds: 11.8 seconds, Babe Didrikson, United States, August 3, 1932
Last official world record: 10.2 seconds, Vera Korsakova, USSR, June 16, 1968
Maureen Caird's winning time of 10.39A at the 1968 Olympics is intrinsically better than the hand timed official record, but at the time, IAAF did not have any rules in place to recognize automatic times. When those rules were put in place in 1977, which recognized records set in the 1968 Olympics in many other events, the 80 metres hurdles had been retired for almost a decade.
