The outdoor record is about 20 second faster than what Seidel just ran.

I am surprised that ND still separates between outdoor and indoor records since USATF and IAAF no longer have separate records.
Thanks for fixing my oversight.

I think people still track whether it's indoor or outdoor. Perhaps it's a college thing or perhaps you have more "record-breaking" performances that way. Breaking the indoor record is better than not breaking any record, if you get what I mean. Copy sells.

For example, see http://www.iaaf.org/news/news/renaud-lavillenie-pole-vault-world-record or the link below regarding the pole vault record.
