IAAF Ranking
The IAAF ranking is calculated by adding the 14 best events, regardless whether men or women events, according to the IAAF table for the 5 best results of these 14 events. This amounts to a total of 70 results, plus the 2 overall best results of the evening, which gives a total of 72 results. For non experts, such a calculation may seem complicated. However, it is the only way to set the real value of a meeting. Thanks to such a calculation, the density of the results is given more importance than a unique performance.
