Yuk!!! I was about half-way through doing my annual summary of national depth in top 100 rankings for each event, when I realized results of the Chinese National Games yet were to be recorded. I've just finished a quick look at how many changes those might require and whether the damage could be repaired without starting over.
One dismal example: Before the CNG, China had two athletes in the top 100 of the women's 1500m. Their top nine in the CNG bettered the previous 100th-place time of 4:13.19. So far, I haven't found changes of that magnitude in any of the men's events, although I note they'll have several additions in the long jump. I've been using the event summaries from Mirko Jalava's website, http://www.tilastopaja.net You'll find the CNG results in his "Free Statistics" section, without having to go through the membership sign-in. Cheers, Roger
