Ukrainian Records In Athletics
Ukrainian records in athletics are the Ukrainian athletes' results which Ukrainian Athletics acknowledges to be the best in certain athletics events.

A record in each age category can be either absolute (i.e., achieved on an outdoor or indoor facility) or indoor. The list of events, in which Ukrainian Athletics maintains national records, in principle conforms to those, in which IAAF and EAA ratify the world records and European records respectively, subject to the following distinctions: * Unlike IAAF and EAA, Ukrainian Athletics ratifies: ** absolute records i ...

60 Metres
60 metres, or 60-meter dash, is a sprint event in track and field. It is a championship event for indoor championships, normally dominated by the best outdoor 100 metres runners. At outdoor venues it is a rare distance, at least for senior athletes. The format of the event is similar to other sprint distances. The sprinters follow three initial instructions: 'ready', instructing them to take up position in the starting blocks; 'set', instructing them to adopt a more efficient starting posture, which also isometrically preloads their muscles. This will enable them to start faster. The final instruction is the firing of the starter's pistol. Upon hearing this the sprinters stride forwards from the blocks. The 60 metres was an Olympic event in the 1900 and 1904 Summer Games but was removed from the schedule thereafter. American Christian Coleman currently holds the men's world record in the 60 metres with a time of 6.34 seconds, while Russian Irina Privalova holds the women's ...
