Most of the data were admittedly initially collected from Wikipedia (during the days of where my R skills were lacking), then later cross-checked and verified from official websites including http://www.euromeetings.org/history.asp?id=8, https://www.sports-reference.com, https://www.iaaf.org, https://www.decathlon2000.com/, with additional testing done through converting raw measurements and times through own functions.
