	Said Aouita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aouita's first major international competition was the 1983 World Championships held in Helsinki where he contested the 1500 m.
		For the World Championships held later that year, Aouita had provisionally entered the 800 m, 1500 m, 5000 m and 10 000 m (probably to keep his opponents guessing), but eventually decided just to contest the 5000 m.
		His final appearance at the World Championships, in 1991 at Tokyo, was a barely noticed eleventh in the 1500 m.

		At the inaugural World Championships in 1983, Lewis won his first major titles, achieving victory in the 100 m, long jump and the 4 x 100 m relay events.
		After he had repeated his 1983 performance at the World Championships in Rome in 1987, he was set for four more golds at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.
		However, he was challenged in that event as well, as compatriot Mike Powell won an exciting duel at the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo, in which the legendary record of Bob Beamon from 1968 was finally broken.

	World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In baseball, the World Series is the championship series of Major League Baseball in the United States and Canada, played in October after the end of the regular season between the pennant winner of the American League and the pennant winner of the National League.
		Baseball researcher Doug Pappas refutes that claim, demonstrating a linear progression from the phrase "World's Championship Series" (used to describe the 1903 series as well as some of the 19th century post-season series) to "World's Series" (a term first used in the 1880s and which persisted for decades) to "World Series".
		The Cleveland Indians ruin a possible all-Boston World Series by defeating the Boston Red Sox in a playoff after the two top American League teams were tied at the end of the season.

	Calvin Smith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		He is a former World Record holder in the 100 metre sprint, and a two-time World Champion over 200 metres.
		Smith was undoubtedly one of the best sprinters in the world in the 1980s, though for most of his career Smith, who was a quiet and unassuming character, ran in the shadow of the more charismatic American sprinting great Carl Lewis.
		At the inaugural Athletics World Championships in 1983, Smith claimed Gold Medals in the 200m and the 4 x 100m relay (which the US won in World Record time), as well as a Silver Medal behind Lewis in the 100m.

	Alberto Cova - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cova got his first fame at the 1982 European Championships in Athens, where he surprisingly outsprinted the main favourite Werner Schildhauer from East Germany, to win his first international championship title.
		In the next year, Cova wasn't the main favourite at the first World Championships held in Helsinki, but was considered as a possible medal winner.
		At the 1986 European Championships in Stuttgart, Cova was beaten at his own game, when he was outsprinted by fellow countryman Stefano Mei on the last lap of the 10 000 m final.

	Little hope for Nigeria, as World Athletics Championships begin - Nigeria Daily News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Nigerian athletics buffs do not expect their team to return from the 10th IAAF World Championships in Athletics, beginning in Helsinki, Finland today, with a clutch of gold medals, after inadequate preparation and the inexplicable decision of the new board of Athletics Federation of Nigeria to leave out the menâs 4x400m relay team.
		Incidentally, the World Championships began as a quadrennial affair in Helsinki in 1983, where the greatest talent of them all, Carl Fitzgerald Lewis, was born.
		That would mean three consecutive World Championships without a medal, after empty shows in Edmonton in Canada in 2001 and at the Paris 2003 championships.

	Sports Venue Technology - 2005 World Athletics Championships, United Kingdom
		In April 2000 the IAAF accepted London’s bid to host the 2005 IAAF World Championships, an event considered to be the most important international sports event in the UK since the 1966 World Cup and one of the top three sports events on the international calendar.
		At the beginning of October 2001, the British Government announced that it was to withdraw London as the venue for the 10th IAAF World Championships.
		The only other occasion that a successful "host" city was unable to stage the athletics championships in their 18-year history was back in 1997 when Athens replaced Mexico City, because of a major earthquake that had hit the Mexican capital.
