[Stephan Whelan]

Is this based on just the VB2017 results or is it a combination of all AIDA results during the year?

 

[freeln2]

This is just the sum of the male+female national records, i.e., this index considers any changes (increase) as well as the VB2017 and all AIDA resuts during the year.
