Notes
* Not a world record at the time of the competition, became a world record when IWF introduced a new weight category on 1 January 2017.
*
Hripsime Khurshudyan's records from 25 September 2010 was rescinded in 2020 following disqualification for banned drug use; which could make
Derya Açıkgöz and

* Not an official world record, but the best result in that time.
