Yesterday we broke down some of our highlights from 2017 and today we’re taking a look at some of the best performances from the best 12 months. We’ve converted the performances using the IAAF Points table using the following calculator.
There will be one noticeable absence from the list and that is Sultana Frizell’s Canadian record weight throw of 23.61m. Since the weight throw is not an IAAF event, it unfortunately does not have a corresponding point calculation. But for your own knowledge, the performance ranks Frizell 12th all-time in the world.
Now to the rankings. Athletes can only be on the list once per event, but performances across multiple events were counted.
