the iaaf commenced the recognition of world records in 1912, and indoor world records after 1987. in 2000, iaaf rule 260.18a (formerly 260.6a) was amended, so that "world records" (as opposed to "indoor world records") can be set in a facility "with or without roof." this rule was not applied retroactively, and has, thus far, only affected the men's and women's pole vault, and women's 2,000 m. the women's vault record has been advanced 9 times indoors by three different women, each ratified as a world record. the last record to be set indoors was in 2004. sergey bubka's 1993 pole vault world indoor record of 6.15 m was not considered to be a world record, because it was set before the new rule came into effect. in february 2014, bubka's record was surpassed indoors by renaud lavillenie jumping 6.16 m which qualifies as both the indoor world record and the world record.
