Complete medal table

The 5th World Athletics Championships took place from August 5th to 13th, 1995 in the Swedish city ​​of Gothenburg . The competitions were held in the Ullevi Stadium . 1804 athletes from 191 countries took part.

overview

For the first time, the World Athletics Championships took place two years after the previous event. This event cycle was then retained. In each of the years with odd numbers between the Olympic Games and the European Athletics Championships , these world championships were held, which means that a special international highlight was on the program for the athletes each year.

Sweden hosted the World Athletics Championships for the first time and so far only.

Competitions

In the women's program, the 3,000-meter run was replaced by the 5,000-meter race .

Otherwise there were no changes in the competition offer.

So for the women there were still deficits compared to the men’s competitions.

• Run area:
  • The 3,000-meter obstacle course , which was only included in the women's World Cup program in 2005, was still missing .
• Walking area:
  • Instead of walking 20 km , the competition was held over a distance of ten kilometers. In 1999 the length of the route was increased to the 20 kilometers that have long been the norm for men.
  • The 50 km walk , which was part of the women's World Cup program in 2017, was missing .
• In the jump area, one discipline was still missing in the women's program:
  • Pole vault - from 1999 in the women's world championship program
• One discipline was also missing in the area of ​​impact / throw:
  • Hammer throw - from 1999 in the women's World Cup program

At the beginning of the competition the referees accidentally only let the women run three instead of the four scheduled rounds in the stadium. The route was therefore 400 meters too short. Thus, the achievements were not ready for record or best list. However, this had no consequences for the world championship record , because the time of the winner Maria Manuela Machado was 22 seconds slower than the existing world championship record.
