Article Yordanka Donkova says she set five world records. This article only lists four. The record-equalling performance of 12.36 set on August 13, 1986 is omitted. 86.185.218.109 (talk) 01:51, 27 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

This article uses the stats handbook as a reference. The newest handbook has the same omission: http://iaaf-ebooks.s3.amazonaws.com/2015/Beijing-2015-Statistics-Handbook/index.htm (page 797). Normally the handbook does list WR equalling performances. So maybe that one was not ratified, which seems to be addressed here: http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/do/yordanka-donkova-1.html "Yordanka Donkova officially lowered the world record in the 100 m hurdles four times, and had one other unofficial world record, which could not be ratified because of a dope testing irregularity when the bottle sample was broken in transit. The first two official records were set within one hour at the Weltklasse in Köln (Germany) in 1986." So it seems the 12.36 was only an unofficial world record.
