Masters M40 hammer throw world record progression

Masters M40 hammer throw world record progression is the progression of world record improvements of the hammer throw M40 division of Masters athletics. Records must be set in properly conducted, official competitions under the standing IAAF rules unless modified by World Masters Athletics.

The M40 division consists of male athletes who have reached the age of 40 but have not yet reached the age of 45, so exactly from their 40th birthday to the day before their 45th birthday. The M40 division throws exactly the same 7.257 kg implement as the Open division.[1] These competitors all threw their records in open competition. In 1918 Matt McGrath (US) threw 53.87.
