The following world records have recently been ratified…

World U20 indoor records

Men’s 60m hurdles (99cm): 7.50 David Omoregie (GBR) Cardiff 9 Mar 2014*
Equals: 7.50 Konstadinos Douvalidis (GRE) Peania 11 Feb 2006

World U20 record

Women’s pole vault: 4.64m Eliza McCartney (NZL) Auckland 19 Dec 2015
Previous: 4.63m (i) Angelica Bengtsson (SWE) Stockholm 22 Feb 2011

*Note: The ratification of Omoregie’s record was delayed by a number of factors, the main one being that his performance was achieved on the same day that Wilhem Belocian ran 7.48 in Val de Reuil and therefore was not submitted for ratification until it was confirmed that Belocian’s performance did not meet the ratification requirements.
