The 12th World Athletics Championships (officially 12th IAAF World Championships in Athletics berlin 2009 ™ or 12th IAAF World Championships in Athletics berlin 2009 ™ ) took place from August 15 to 23, 2009 in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin . Exceptions were the events in the marathon as well as the 20 or 50 kilometer walk , which started at the Brandenburg Gate and also found its destination there.
The organizers announced a budget of 45 million euros, which was covered by 17 million euros from ticket sales and 7 million euros from marketing .
During the event, the athletes were accommodated in the hotels Estrel in the Neukölln district (950 rooms booked) and Berlin, Berlin in the Tiergarten district (650 rooms booked).
The mascot Berlino received special attention .
Applications for the venue
Eight cities had initially expressed their interest in hosting the event: Berlin ( Germany ), Brisbane ( Australia ), Brussels ( Belgium ), Casablanca ( Morocco ), Daegu ( South Korea ), Delhi ( India ), Split ( Croatia ) and Valencia ( Spain ) . The cities' application documents had to be submitted to the IAAF , the World Athletics Association , by June 30, 2004 . Shortly before the deadline, Brisbane, Casablanca, Daegu and Delhi withdrew their applications, leaving only the four European candidate cities. On December 4, 2004, during their meeting in Helsinki , the members of the IAAF Council gave the event to Berlin with 24 out of 26 possible votes.
reporting
ARD and ZDF acted as the host country's television broadcasters, produced the television images in high-definition format ( HDTV 1080i50, and thus did not produce 1080p50 in accordance with the EBU recommendation) and made the signal available for over 190 television markets worldwide. It was broadcast by ARD and ZDF in the resolution 720p50 . For this purpose, around 90 television cameras were installed in the Olympic Stadium, which is significantly more than when broadcasting football matches.
There were also extensive live broadcasts by the private broadcaster Eurosport . in Switzerland by SF two .
The broadcasters Das Erste and ZDF offered, alternating daily, a live broadcast of all competitions in real time via the Internet in the ARDmediathek and ZDFmediathek . The provider Zattoo made it possible for Internet users in Germany and Switzerland to receive the current programs from ARD and ZDF and thus also to receive World Cup coverage via the Internet.
Some media, including the taz , boycotted the reporting because all journalists had to agree to a police and secret service screening in order to receive the accreditation . For this purpose, inquiries were made to the LKA Berlin and subsequently to the Federal and State Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the Federal Intelligence Service and various criminal offender files. The German Association of Journalists condemned the procedure as "incompatible with freedom of the press." This practice also earned the organizing committee a Big Brother Award in October 2009 .

The race started very slowly with two 400-meter segments in 59.54 s and 60.64 s. The field stayed together until a good 200 meters before the finish before the decision was made in the final sprint. Deresse Mekonnen came into the home straight as the leader, but was intercepted by Yusuf Saad Kamel . Behind them, Bernard Lagat was able to move up from the middle of the field to third place. Olympic champion Asbel Kiprop had to go the long way over the third lane in the last corner because the inner lanes were blocked by other runners. So he did not get into the position in time to intervene decisively in the battle for the medals.

WJB : Josphat Muchiri Ndambiri ( KEN ), 26: 57.36 min
The defending champion and dominant 10,000 meter runner of the past few years, Kenenisa Bekele, started as the big favorite. All the more so when his compatriot Sileshi Sihine was injured. In the first half of the race, the runners from Qatar and Kenya tried to get Bekele into trouble with their high speed. Nicholas Kemboi in particular did much of the leadership work. The 5000 meter mark was reached in 13: 40.45 minutes. However, Bekele always retained control over the course of the race. Zersenay attacked Tadese about four kilometers from the finish. Ultimately, only Bekele was able to follow his tightening of pace. Although Tadese tried his best, he did not succeed in shaking Bekele off. At the beginning of the last lap, Bekele started his typical final sprint, apparently effortlessly leaving Tadese behind and winning in record time for the world championship. Moses Ndiema Masai, who had been part of the leadership group until Tadeese attacked, came in third. In the competition, which is typically determined by Africans, it is remarkable that two Americans, Dathan Ritzenhein and Galen Rupp, were able to place in the top eight.

WR : Haile Gebrselassie ( ETH ), 2:03:59 h, 2008
WJB : Duncan Kibet Kirong ( KEN ), 2:04:27 h
Some of the strongest athletes such as world record holder Haile Gebrselassie , Olympic champion Samuel Kamau Wanjiru and defending champion Luke Kibet did not start here. Nevertheless, despite the warm temperatures of around 21 ° C, a fast race developed from the start. A leading group of eight reached the half marathon mark in 1:03:03 h. After thirty kilometers in 1:29:43 hours, the three Kenyans Abel Kirui, Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot and Emmanuel Kipchirchir Mutai and Deriba Merga from Ethiopia, whose compatriot Tsegay Kebede was eight seconds behind. Kebede overtook Cheruiyot and then Merga, who later gave up the race, over the next five kilometers. At the top, the winner Kirui was able to pull away in the final stages of Mutai, who defended second place from Kebede despite stomach problems. Kirui undercut the old championship record of the injured missing Jaouad Gharib by 1:36 min. Of the 91 runners who started, 70 reached the finish.
In the team classification - not part of these world championships - of the World Cup, which is calculated from the sum of the times of the three fastest runners in a country, Kenya (6:25:28 h) won ahead of Ethiopia (6:32:26 h) and Japan ( 6:41:05 h). Germany took ninth place (6:56:20 h).

Due to heavy rain, the start of the finals was delayed by about an hour. After that, many jumpers had problems getting to their full potential on the wet run-up track. Only four athletes jumped 2.28 m and subsequently 2.32 m. Since all four finally failed at 2.35 m, the number of unsuccessful attempts decided on the medal award. Behind the winner Jaroslaw Rybakow and the second Kyriakos Ioannou, Sylwester Bednarek and Raúl Spank shared third place. For Rybakow it was the first world championship gold after three second places. Bednarek exceeded his previous personal best by four centimeters, Raul Spank hired his. In contrast, defending champion Donald Thomas was already eliminated in qualifying.

WJB -Indoor: Steven Hooker ( AUS ) 6.06 m
Steven Hooker won the competition despite a painful hamstring injury that prevented him from completing the full competition. He only made two jumps, one failed attempt at 5.85 m and then another successful jump at 5.90 m. This was enough for the gold medal, as neither of the two French remaining in the competition could jump the 5.95 m. In particular, Renaud Lavillenie with a season best of 6.01 m would have had significantly more potential in terms of height, but failed after unsuccessful attempts at 5.85 m and 5.90 m in his only remaining attempt over 5.95 m due to a small one lateral touch.

In the final, she ran the first lap from the front in a quick 56.83 seconds. About 250 meters from the finish, Semenya was able to successfully repel an attack and again ran the world best time of the year, taking 2.45 seconds away from second-placed defending champion Janeth Jepkosgei Busienei from Kenya. Because of her male appearance, the IAAF ordered a sex test for Semenya. On July 6, 2010, the IAAF announced that Semanya can start again in the women.

WR : Wang Junxia ( CHN ), 29: 31.78 min, 1993
WJB : Meselech Melkamu ( ETH ), 29: 53.80 min
The field of 22 runners was together after a slow seven kilometers (3:08 min / km) when three Ethiopians and two Kenyans increased the pace on the eighth kilometer (2:56 minutes) and gained a big advantage that the other runners did not could catch up more. In the final sprint, the Ethiopian Meselech Melkamu believed she was the winner and cheered even before the finish line when Linet Masai pushed past her and thus ended the Ethiopians' uninterrupted winning streak since 1999.
Because nine athletes in the outer starting group, including Linet Chepkwemoi Masai (first), Wude Ayalew (third), Grace Kwamboka Momanyi (fourth) and Yurika Nakamura (seventh), pulled in prematurely, they ran too short a distance. The times they achieved are therefore not used for statistical purposes, although nothing changes in the rankings.

WR : Paula Radcliffe ( GBR ), 2:15:25 h, 2003
WJB : Irina Mikitenko ( GER ), 2:22:11 h
The world record holder Paula Radcliffe , the world's best of the year Irina Mikitenko and the defending champion Catherine Ndereba did not start in Berlin. Also because of the warm temperatures around 23 ° C in the shade, the race pace was rather slow. The half marathon mark reached a comparatively large group of 24 runners in 1:13:39 h. Little by little, more and more runners fell from the top group, until at kilometer 35 only the three later medal winners led the race. The two Chinese Zhou and Zhu were only a few seconds behind until the end, but could not catch up with the leading trio. The co-favorite Kara Goucher from the USA lost contact with the chasing group during this phase due to stomach problems. The decision about the medal award was made on the last kilometer, when the winner Bai Xue was able to break away from Aselefech Mergia and then from Yoshimi Ozaki. Of the 71 runners who started, 60 reached the finish.
The Russian Nailja Julamanowa , who came in eighth place in 2:27:08 h, was subsequently disqualified for a doping offense.
As a result, the Russians fell from third to fifth place in the team ranking of the World Cup, which is calculated from the sum of the times of the three fastest runners in a country. The World Cup, which is not part of the World Championships as a competition, was won by China (7:17:02 h) ahead of Japan (7:22:15 h), Ethiopia (7:28:17 h) and the United States (7:32 hrs) : 20 h). With only two runners at the finish, Germany did not make it into this ranking.

WR : Gulnara Galkina ( RUS ), 8: 58.81 min, 2008
WJB : Marta Domínguez ( ESP ), 9: 09.39 min
The race was characterized by a high pace from the start. The first kilometer was completed in 3: 01.26 minutes, the second in 3: 05.19 minutes. The 2008 Olympic champion and world record holder, Gulnara Galkina, was considered the favorite but only finished third in the end. On the last lap she surprisingly lost touch with the leaders. Instead, her compatriot Julija Sarudnewa attacked around 200 meters from the target. Only Marta Domínguez and Milcah Chemos Cheywa could follow her. Sarudnewa had nothing to counter the final sprint of the doped Domínguez after the last obstacle and could only defend her place in front of Cheywa with difficulty. Thanks to a clever race division, Antje Möldner, who came eighth after the disqualification of the doping offender Marta Domínguez, improved her own German record again after she had already succeeded in the qualifying round two days earlier.
In November 2015, the Spanish Marta Domínguez was stripped of the world championship title due to a doping offense following a ruling by the International Sports Court .

The defending champion Jelena Isinbayeva went into the competition as a high favorite. While all other participants in the final started with a height of 4.25 m or 4.40 m, Isinbayeva chose a late entry into the competition with 4.75 m, as usual. Since it initially failed at this height, while Anna Rogowska crossed it in the first attempt, Issinbayeva had 4.80 m hang up. Issinbayeva was also unable to overcome this mark twice and was the only final participant without a valid attempt. The jumped 4.75 m was enough for Rogowska to win. Behind them Monika Pyrek and the previously unknown Chelsea Johnson, with 4.65 m height in the first attempt, both won the silver medal. Silke Spiegelburg also jumped 4.65 m. However, since she only succeeded in doing this on the second attempt, she was fourth. A bronze medal was not awarded.

In the second round, however, Anita Włodarczyk was able to counter with the new world record distance of 77.96 m. While cheering for this litter, she injured her ankle and stopped the next three attempts. With a personal best in the third attempt, Kathrin Klaas temporarily moved up to third place, from which she was able to oust Martina Hrašnová in the fifth round. In the last attempt, Heidler improved her own German record by 67 centimeters, but could not take the victory from Włodarczyk. The dethroned world record holder Tatjana Lyssenko did not get past sixth place after a two-year doping ban that had recently expired.

The world's best of the year, Jessica Ennis, immediately took the clear lead after winning the 100-meter hurdles and high jump . With the best result in the shot put , the 2008 Olympic champion, Natalja Dobrynska, was able to shorten her deficit in the meantime. Jessica Ennis finished the first day of competition with the fastest time in the 200-meter run . The victory in the long jump went to Kamila Chudzik. Linda Züblin won the javelin throw and even set a new national record for Switzerland, but played no role in the overall standings. Before the final 800-meter run , Jessica Ennis was comfortably in the lead, but behind that Kamila Chudzik, Jennifer Oeser and Natalja Dobrynska were fighting for silver and bronze. Despite a fall one lap before the finish line, Oeser managed to push Chudzik out of second place in the overall standings, while Dobrynska stayed in fourth place. The best time over 800 meters was achieved by Tatiana Tschernowa, but overall eighth fell short of expectations. Jessica Ennis had no trouble defending her overall lead until the end. Ennis and Oeser set new personal bests in the heptathlon.
