A collection of various footages of men 100m final in Mexico 14.10.1968
Olympic Games, Olympic Stadium at 2248m above sea level, 18 Hr (+ 0.3w):
1. Jim Hines 9.9/9.95
2. Lennox Miller (JAM) 10.0 (10.04)
3. Charles Greene (USA) 10.0 (10.07)
4. Pablo Montes (CUB) 10.1 (10.14)
5. Roger Bambuck (FRA) 10.1 (10.15)
6. Melvin Pender (USA) 10.1 (10.17)
7. Harry Jerome (CAN) 10.1 (10.20)
8. Jean-Louis Ravelomanantsoa (MAD) 10.2 (10.27)
The time was initially recorded as 9.89 by Omega’s photo-cells, and photo-finish revealed that the time 9.90, corrected to 9.95 with the addition of the 0.05 mechanical delay of the timing system.
The official times, although given to the tenth of a second, were not hand times. According to the rule back then, whenever an electronic timing device was used and declared to be official, the times recorded shall be rounded down to the nearest tenth. Had there been official hand timing, Hines' result could have been anything between 9.9 and 9.5 ! Indeed, the largest difference between official hand timing and unofficial electronic timing for a world record is 0.47 in men's 120 yards hurdles by Erv Hall (USA) at the 1969 NCAA in Knoxville (13.2 - 13.67). Earlier in 1968, Jim Hines was officially hand timed in 9.9, a new world record and first legal sub10 ever, while the unofficial electonic time had him in 10.03; in the same race, Ronnie Ray Smith placed second in 9.9, sharing the world record, but electronic device showed 10.14!
These aberrations would stop from 1977 when IAAF would only ratify electronic timings as world records. Jim Hines' 9.95 became the first accepted performance and would remain a world record until 1983, and an Olympic record until 1988.
