The connection with the German record lists

While Marita Koch and Marlies Göhr keep the most records in the sprint area, Ruppert has created a significant change in the list with his new record. The record over 3000 meters of obstacle is now being listed there prominently, whereby only best performances are recognized that are officially managed by the International Athletics Association World Athletics. Records that are also world or European records are marked accordingly, which is currently not the case for Ruppert.
