	IAAF World Championships in Athletics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The World Championships in Athletics is an event organized by the International Association of Athletics Federations.
		The idea of having an Athletics World Championships was around well before the competitions first event in 1983.
		Prior to the inaugral IAAF World Championships in Helsinki in 1983 there had been several single events and races in the years leading up to them which were considered World Championships in those events.

	Definition of Jon Drummond - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		At the 1993 World Championships, Drummond ran the opening leg on the American 4x100 m relay team, which won the gold medal and equalled the world record of 37.40.
		At the 2001 World Championships, Drummond was again selected to run the first leg in relay, but suffered a cramp in his right quadriceps halfway to passing the baton to Mickey Grimes in the first round and didn't run in the final.
		In 2002, Drummond was fourth in 100 m and won the 4x100 m relay in the IAAF World Cup and at the 2003 World Championships, he was disqualified in the quarterfinals of 100 m for a false start.

	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.

	World Athletics Championships: Lewis strikes silver to open Britain's account

		She has the world best this season, 15.14, which is also the third best of all time.
		Hansen, fourth in Atlanta in 1996 and the silver medallist at the World Indoor Championships in Paris in March, seemed on course to move up to gold, but a back injury she suffered at the Grand Prix meeting in Nice in July, which cost her a few days' training, cast doubt on her prospects here.

	Little hope for Nigeria, as World Athletics Championships begin - OnlineNigeria.com
		Blog It 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.

		Paul McMullen was third in the 1500 at the 2001 USATF Championships in Eugene.
		In an eventful championship weekend for McMullen, his brother Phil qualified for the World Championships in the decathlon, and his wife Jill, a 1997 World Championships competitor in the 800, gave birth to the couple's daughter Olivia right after Paul's semifinal.
		Right before I left to go to the track (for his semi), she said, "They think I'm going to start pushing in about 45 minutes." I tried to avoid my dad and my brother and his wife because I figured they would have gotten word that the baby was born.

	Silver lining to Edwards' cloud
		What aggrieved Edwards was the belief that in Munich he had got his rhythm back, but the belief that the problem was not fully rectified was perhaps given credence by the fact that Edwards was not even jumping in training, with the exception of the odd attempt off a short approach.
		Quesada's second-round jump of 17.85m, the best in the world this year, had given Edwards a difficult task, but he responded with subsequent jumps of 17.66m, 17.57m and 17.69m.
		After all the excitement generated by Wilson Kipketer in the 800m this summer, there were expectations that the world championship final might provide the Kenyan-born athlete, who runs for Denmark, with the opportunity to have another attempt at the world record of 1min 41.73sec, which he now shares with Sebastian Coe.
