Wilma Rudolph's best time in the 100 was an 11.0 timed in the 100 meter finals at the 1960 Rome Olympics. However, since there was a tail wind of 2.75 meters per second, higher than the limit of 2.0 meters per second, the time was not recognized as a new world record. Her best 'official' 100 meter dash time was a hand timed 11.2 set at a meet in Stuttgart in 1961.
