At the XXV. The 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona hosted 43 athletics competitions. The track competitions and the technical disciplines were held in the Barcelona Olympic Stadium "Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys". The walkers also had their start and finish in the stadium, but their races were mostly on a circuit on the Olympic grounds. The marathons started in Mataró , around thirty kilometers north of Barcelona. The course led through Badalona and then across Barcelona. Over the last five kilometers, the runners had to overcome a difference in altitude of ninety meters to reach the finish in the stadium on Montjuïc .

Attendees

For the first time since 1968 there were no participant boycotts at the Olympic Games.

The collapse of the Soviet Union had particular consequences . The Baltic states of Estonia , Latvia and Lithuania , which had previously sent their athletes to the Games under the flag of the Soviet Union , appeared as independent nations after they were recognized by the IOC . The other states that had previously been part of the USSR started in Barcelona with a joint team called the " United Team ". The abbreviation was "EUN", derived from the French term "Equipe Unifiée". This United Team, however, remained a one-time affair. At the next games in Atlanta , the nations that were still starting in the group appeared with their own flag and name.

The former state of Yugoslavia had also disintegrated into different states, which now sent their athletes under their own flag. These were the nations of Croatia , Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina . The remaining Yugoslavia, however, was excluded because of the Balkan War . However, their athletes were allowed to take part in the games as " Independent Olympic Participants ", "IOP" for short. Since Macedonia did not have its own NOK , athletes from this country were allowed to start in Barcelona in the same form as athletes from the rest of Yugoslavia. In addition, South Africa was there again after the end of apartheid in Barcelona.

After German reunification , there was a joint German team that competed under the name "Germany" - "GER" for "Germany".

Stadion

The Barcelona Olympic Stadium "Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys" was originally built for the hosting of the Olympic Games in 1936 on Montjuic , the "local mountain" of Barcelona. In Barcelona they had obviously expected the games to be awarded to the Catalan metropolis. However, this did not happen, the 1936 Games took place in Berlin . As a major sporting event, the Mediterranean Games were held in Barcelona's Olympic Stadium in 1955 . Subsequently, the system was initially no longer of any particular importance. That changed after the games were actually awarded to Barcelona for 1992. Extensive renovation and conversion work took place, and the stadium was brought up to a modern standard that fully met the demands of the sport.

Competitions

There was an extension for women in the competition offer. With the 10 km walk, a distance from the walking competition for women was included in the Olympic program for the first time .

The offer for women thus came closer and closer to that for men. In the area of ​​running, only the 3,000-meter obstacle course was missing , which was to be reserved for men up to and including 2004 . The 3000-meter run , which was previously only offered to women, was brought into line in 1996 with the usual distance of 5000 meters for men. Further additions for the future in the women's disciplines were still pending in the area of ​​jumps - in 1996 the triple jump was added, in 2000 the pole vault - and in the throw area - in 2000 the hammer throw was added. In 2004, walking was about to change from 10 to 20 km.

doping

There were officially three cases of doping in athletics at these games - all of them among women.

• Nijolė Medvedeva , Lithuania - long jump (initially fourth)
• Madina Biktagirowa , Belarus - marathon run (initially fourth)
• Bonnie Dasse , USA - Shot Put (Seventh in her qualifying group)

However, it would be naive to assume that the doping problem would have been resolved for the games in Barcelona . The control systems were not fully developed, not very systematic and were handled differently from state to state. There was mistrust among the athletes, each suspecting the other, even among the different training groups within a nation there was this mood.

Sporting successes

As is so often the case at such high points, the level of performance at these Olympic Games was high for the athletes. However, there was no record flood, as has been seen again and again in the past at such events. Three world records were set in three disciplines . The Olympic record was improved five times in a further four disciplines .

The most successful nation was once again the USA with twelve Olympic athletics victories and thirty medals in total . The track and field athletes of the United Team produced ten Olympic champions and won a total of twenty medals. The reunified Germany followed with four gold medals. Five nations won two gold medals each, Kenya with eight medals in total, Cuba - with a total of seven medals, Spain - with a total of four medals, Great Britain - without silver but four bronze medals - and Czechoslovakia - without any other medals. For all other nations there was at most one gold medal in athletics.

For the individual athletes, the following services are particularly worth mentioning.

• The following athletes each had two gold medals to book:
  • Carl Lewis ( USA ) - long jump and 4 x 100 meter relay . He won the long jump for the third time in a row, a fourth time to follow four years later in Atlanta .
  • Gwen Torrence ( USA ) - 200-meter run and 4-by-100-meter relay
  • Michael Marsh ( USA ) - 200-meter run and 4-by-100-meter relay
  • Quincy Watts ( USA ) - 400-meter run and 4-by-400-meter relay
• Two services were also outstanding:
  • Jackie Joyner-Kersee ( USA ) repeated as the first athlete ever to their Olympic gold medal in a track and field all-around , the heptathlon .
  • Kevin Young was the first and, until 2018, the only athlete to run faster than 47 seconds in the 400-meter hurdles . It was one of the three world records in athletics set by Barcelona .
