Can someone explain the rules regarding a back up run to set a national record? Im not understanding the following.
Schumacher will need to win the final and reset his own 4.437 national record. His earlier 4.458 will back up any number between 4.436 and 4.414. Should Schumacher win the race but run quicker than 4.414, he would lose the championship by running too quick for his best back up.

It is actually pretty simple. You have to A) exceed the existing record and B) back that up with another run at the same event that is within 1% of the record run. The "back up" run can occur before the record run.
In the case you cite, the 4.458 second run can only back up a run between 4.414 and the old record of 4.436. Anything quicker than 4.414 would be outside the 1% range for his 4.458 run to qualify as a back up.
4.414 sec times 101% = 4.458sec

Perfect explanation. I did not understand how a 4.458 could back up a 4.414-4.436.
Thanks

4.414 sec times 101% = 4.458sec
