Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “athletics events at the 1982 Southern Cross Games were held at the Centro de Alto Rendimiento Deportivo Pedro Candioti (CARD), equipped with one of the first synthetic tracks in Argentina, in Santa Fe, Argentina” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry.

Critical limits

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
