QUESTION: Thank you for the info, could you please clarify if the distance covered was Metres or Yards? When Seraphino Antao did the Gold Double in Melbourne it was in Yards.....if it was metres, then India broke away from the Commonwealth distances of 1 mile 100 yards....see:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5JKNLRrGIIDEV BOREM KORUMGabe Menezes. Generally it was the 100 yard dash until 1975, with the metric 100 meters being contested in Olympic years starting in 1932. Metrication occurred in 1976, so all subsequent championships were at the metric distance. Hand timing was used until 1973, starting in 1974 fully automatic timing was used.
