• A few discrepancies exist in data for the results from these World Championships.

Due to the existence of those discrepancies, ultimately a later source, that claimed that those discrepancies were the results of computation errors and that was a more thorough source of information with better sourcing to original documents, was used for the results listed in this edit.
