	IAAF World Indoor Championships in Athletics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They have been held every two years except for when they were held in consecutive years 2003 and 2004 to facilitate the need for them to be held in alternate years to the main IAAF World Championships (outdoors) in the future.
		The 200 m was absent from the 2006 championships in Moscow, as in recent years it has become too predictable.
		In their short history the championships have seen Mozambique's Maria Mutola claim an incredible 6 gold medals in the women's 800 m from 1993 to 2004, her only defeat coming at the hands of Ludmila Formanová of the Czech Republic in 1999 in a championship record of 1 minute 56.9 seconds that still stands.

		White, competing under a cloud of controversy after testing positive for a minor stimulant at the worlds, needed to smash her personal best of 10.85 seconds and clock 10.77 to overhaul South African high jumper Hestrie Cloete in the women's overall rankings.
		Should she be found guilty of doping, the points she gained at the worlds when taking the world 100 and 200 meters will be docked -- meaning White would not have enough points to finish third overall.
		Elsewhere, three-time world champion Gail Devers put recent disappointment at the Paris worlds behind her, blasting ahead of the field to take the 100-meter hurdles.

	Sports Venue Technology - 2004 IAAF World Indoor Championships in Budapest.
		In February 2002 the Hungarian Local Organising Committee, set up specifically for the Athletics World Championship, submitted its proposal to the IAAF and set the first weekend of March (5-7) as the date for the Championships, which was duly accepted.
		Mainly because the arena is new, as part of its preparations, the hosts intend to hold two trial athletics meetings in spring 2003 and another two immediately prior to the big event in order to ensure all aspects of the new venue have been thoroughly tested.
		Although the arena was completed in February 2003, Bouygues had a further three weeks to finish the surrounding landscaping of the multifunction sports hall before the official opening ceremony took place in March.

		It may seem unlikely, but that’s the way things have been looking this weekend at the 9th IAAF World Indoor Championships after Paul McKee’s stunning 46.24sec Irish record in winning his 400 metres semi-final, to be joined in Sunday’s eagerly awaited final by his teenaged team mate, David McCarthy.
		The beaming smile appeared on McKee’s face two full strides before the finish as he realised what he had achieved, while behind him former world indoor champion Jamie Baulch and Daniel Batman, from Australia, clattered into one another off the last bend as fatigue reduced their legs to jelly in the final yards.
		Indoors, on the tight 200-metre track where the runners can break from their lanes after less than a circuit, the 400 metres often resembles the rough and tumble of the chariot race from the Hollywood movie Ben Hur.

		With former World Champion Maurice Greene injured, Jon Drummond's withdrawal from competition, Tim Montgomery's quick disappearance from Paris, and being shut out of the 100m medals for only the second time at a World Championships, one might think that that Team USA's dash troops might be feeling a bit demoralised.
