These abbreviations have also been adopted by,among others:World Athletics,the world governing body;various domestic governing bodies;the Association of Track and Field Statisticians;the Association of Road Racing Statisticians;the Associated Press;and individual media outlets who receive their reports. These abbreviations also appear in Wikipedia.
