overview

With these World Championships, the cycle of events was changed from a four-year to a two-year cycle. For the first time, Germany hosted the World Athletics Championships. 16 years later, the World Championships in Berlin in 2009 saw the World Athletics Championships in Germany again.

Competitions

The women's triple jump has been added to the program .

However, there were still deficits in the offer catalog for women compared to the men's competitions.

• Run area:
  • For the last time, instead of the 5000-meter run, the 3000-meter run was held before the athletes also tackled this discipline over 5000 meters from 1995 .
  • 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:

• One discipline was also missing in the area of ​​impact / throw:
  • Hammer throw - from 1999 in the women's World Cup program

doping

There were four subsequently discovered doping cases with disqualifications of the athletes concerned:

• Mike Stulce ( USA ) - Shot put , initially third. Before winning his silver medal at the 1992 Olympic Games, he had already been banned from doping for two years. Now he was tested positive again and had to give up his bronze medal.
• Romas Ubartas ( Lithuania ) - Discus throw , initially fourth. He tested positive for the anabolic steroid boldenone and received a four-year ban. His result at these world championships was canceled.
• Dmitri Poljunin ( Uzbekistan ) - javelin throw , initially third. His doping sample contained the anabolic steroid stanozolol . So he was stripped of his third place at these world championships.
• Lilija Nurutdinova ( Russia ), defending champion - 800 meters , initially seventh. She tested positive for the anabolic steroid stanozolol and received a four-year ban, which led to the end of her sports career. Your result at these world championships was canceled.

Audience interest

The world championships were attended by a total of 585,000 spectators - the highest number of spectators ever achieved at the World Athletics Championships. The visitors to the world championships were awarded the UNESCO Fair Play Prize for “the great interest of the audience, the specialist knowledge and enthusiasm of the audience” . Not only the athletes from the host country were cheered on, as in many subsequent World Championships. Each starter earned respect and applause from the stands. La Ola walked through the rows of spectators countless times.

Others

The athletes' village was located in the recently vacated barracks Nellingen Barracks in Ostfildern . After the event, the area was rededicated as the new Scharnhauser Park district .

The world championships motivated VfB Stuttgart , based in the Gottlieb Daimler Stadium , to postpone most of its centenary celebrations in 1993 until the following year.
