| [1] | This record has been updated thanks to a discovery by colleague Alexis Concepción, who located the results of the 1927 South American Championships decathlon in the Chilean magazine *Los Sports*. According to his source, the shot put and 1,500-meter events in Gevert's record contained errors in the reported results. The total score has also been adjusted. |
| [2] | Result with a wind reading above the permissible limit. Not officially recognized as an area record by the South American Athletics Confederation. |
| [3] | Although in 1985 there was only one table that unified (through conversions) manual and automatic times, the South American Confederation decided to include Pedro Ferreira da Silva's mark of 8,266 points as a record, even though it was no better than Steiner's mark of 8,291 points. |
