Leg timing

What was the timing of each leg of the world record? --Tommy The Wise (talk) 04:12, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Other Records Established

Just spent some time adding the other newly-established records to the table at the front. I was trying to "be bold" I guess. I wasn't sure what "SB" meant - no links on the page - but if it's a record we should add it as well. I specifically didn't include the first US record broken (during round 1) since they re-broke it during the finals. RobI (talk) 21:40, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Better Results Reference

I don't know how to add references in wikipedia, but I do know here are some (more permanent?) links than the london2012.com links:

Why was the US team disqualified

The article does not mention this right now. 2A02:8388:1605:2F80:FC8C:F6C8:853E:855F (talk) 14:22, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
