Welcome
AllTime Athletics (alltimeathletics.com, the “Site”) is a personal, non-commercial archive of the greatest all-time performances in track and field. It exists because someone loves the sport and thought the world deserved a clean, honest reference for the marks that matter.
By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Site. The Terms are written plainly on purpose — if something isn’t clear, write to us at contact@alltimeathletics.com.
What the Site Is
The Site displays top all-time performance lists across track and field disciplines, for men, women, and mixed events, alongside links to publicly available video footage hosted on third-party platforms such as YouTube. It is a personal hobby project, independently maintained, and is not affiliated with World Athletics, any national federation, any athlete, or any broadcaster.
What the Site Is Not
- It is not an official record-keeping authority. For official ratifications and current world records, consult World Athletics (worldathletics.org).
- It is not a ticketing, merchandise, or commercial platform. Nothing is for sale.
- It is not a community platform. There are no user accounts, comments, or uploads.
- It is not a news source. Data is updated manually and may lag behind recent performances.
Accuracy of Information
We try hard to keep the data accurate, but errors happen. Performance marks, names, dates, venues, and video links are compiled from public sources and are provided “as is,” with no warranty of accuracy, completeness, or currency. If you spot something wrong, please tell us — contact@alltimeathletics.com — and we’ll fix it.
Do not rely on this Site as a sole source for journalism, academic work, wagering, or any decision where accuracy matters. Always cross-check against official sources.
Third-Party Content
The Site embeds and links to third-party content, including:
- Video footage hosted on YouTube and other video platforms
- Flag images served by flagcdn.com
- Fonts served by Google Fonts
- Analytics and infrastructure provided by Cloudflare
We do not own, host, or control this third-party content. When you interact with it, you are also subject to the terms and policies of those third parties. If a video is unavailable, removed, or geo-restricted, that’s the decision of the video’s host, not ours.
Intellectual Property
Athletic performance data (names, marks, dates, venues) is factual information and is not owned by anyone. The arrangement, selection, editorial commentary, and original design of this Site, however, are the work of its creator and are protected by copyright.
You are welcome to:
- Link to any page on the Site.
- Reference facts from the Site in your own work (a credit link is appreciated but not required).
- View, read, and share the Site with friends.
Please don’t:
- Scrape the Site at volume or automate bulk downloads. The JSON data files are public for transparency, not for wholesale copying into competing products.
- Republish the Site’s original design, layout, written commentary, or curatorial choices without permission.
- Use the Site’s name or branding in a way that implies endorsement or affiliation.
If you’d like to do something that falls outside the above, just ask.
Images and Copyright Takedown
The Site includes photographs of athletes and events used for illustrative and editorial purposes in the context of a non-commercial archive about the sport. Every effort is made to use images responsibly, but given the nature of a one-person hobby project compiling material from across the web, it is possible that a photograph has been included without the rights-holder’s explicit permission.
If you are a photographer, agency, federation, broadcaster, or rights-holder and you believe an image on the Site has been used without appropriate permission, please contact us at contact@alltimeathletics.com with:
- A description or URL identifying the image in question
- Evidence of your ownership or authorization to act on behalf of the rights-holder
- The action you would like us to take (remove the image, add a credit, replace with a licensed version, etc.)
We treat such notices seriously and in good faith. Our default response is to remove or replace the image promptly — typically within seven days of receiving a clear, good-faith request — without requiring any further justification or legal process. If you would prefer credit and a link over removal, that is often easier for everyone and we will happily accommodate.
This is a personal archive made by a fan, not a commercial operation. We have no interest in using anyone’s work without permission, and we will always prefer dialogue and a quick fix over any kind of dispute.
Acceptable Use
When using the Site, please do not:
- Attempt to break, overload, or probe the Site’s infrastructure.
- Use automated tools to mass-download content beyond normal browsing.
- Misrepresent the Site or its contents to deceive others.
Changes to the Site
The Site is maintained as a labor of love in whatever spare time its creator can give it. Features may be added, changed, or removed without notice. The Site may go offline, temporarily or permanently, at any time. No guarantees are made about uptime, availability, or the long-term existence of any particular feature, page, or dataset.
Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability
The Site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Site’s creator is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profit, or reliance on inaccurate information.
Your use of the Site is at your own risk. If you don’t like this, don’t use the Site.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms occasionally. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the revised Terms.
