Wilma Rudolph's automatic timed world record in the 100 meter dash, 11.41 seconds set at the 1960 Olympics in Rome, was bettered by Wyomia Tyus at 11.23 seconds at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo. She had run faster times but those races were not automatically timed. Her best 100 meter dash time was a hand timed 11.2 set at a meet in Stuttgart in 1961. Wilma's automatic timed world record in the 200 meter dash, 22.30 seconds set at the 1960 Olympics, was bettered by Edith McGuire at 22.05 seconds set at the 1964 Olympics.
