2005 World Championships in Athletics

The 10th World Championships in Athletics, under the auspices of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), were held in the Olympic Stadium, Helsinki, Finland (6 August 2005 – 14 August 2005), the site of the first IAAF World Championships in 1983. One theme of the 2005 championships was paralympic events, some of which were included as exhibition events. Much of the event was played in extremely heavy rainfall.

Background

Bidding

The original winning bid for the competition was for London but the cost to build the required stadium at Picketts Lock and host the event was deemed too expensive by the government. UK Athletics suggested to move the host city to Sheffield (using Don Valley Stadium), but the IAAF stated that having London as the host city was central to their winning the bid. The championships bidding process was reopened as a result. The United Kingdom's withdrawal as host was the first case for a major sporting event in a developed country since Denver's withdrawal as host of the 1976 Winter Olympics.[1]

Helsinki was considered by many to be the outsider in the race to host the games with rival bids being presented by Berlin in Germany; Brussels in Belgium, Budapest in Hungary, Moscow in Russia and Rome in Italy.

Opening ceremony

Apocalyptica and Nightwish performed at the opening ceremony of the event over a heavy rainfall. Geir Rönning, Finland's Eurovision Song Contest 2005 entrant, sang "Victory" the official song of the 2005 IAAF World Championships.

Events

With the addition of the women's 3000 metres steeplechase to the schedule, that year's program of events was closer to parity for women and men. With the exception of the 50 km walk the women competed in practically the same events as the men. Two differences remaining from before, though, were the short hurdles race (100 metres for women vs. 110 metres for men), and the multi-event competition (heptathlon for women vs. decathlon for men).

Since the first World Championships in Helsinki 1983, seven new events have been added for women:

Drug testing

The IAAF conducted their largest ever anti-doping program at an athletics event for the championships, with 705 athletes subjected to a total 884 of tests.[2] There were two athletes who failed drugs tests: Indian discus thrower Neelam Jaswant Singh tested positive for the stimulant pemoline, and Vladyslav Piskunov, a Ukrainian hammer thrower, tested positive for the steroid drostanolone.[3] Singh received a two-year ineligibility ban,[4] while Piskunov received a life ban from athletics as this was his second offence.[5]

In March 2013, the IAAF announced that re-testing of samples taken during these championships revealed that five medal winners had proved positive for banned substances. The athletes involved were Belarusian Nadzeya Ostapchuk (shot put gold), Belarusian Ivan Tsikhan (hammer throw gold), Russian Olga Kuzenkova (hammer throw gold), Russian Tatyana Kotova (long jump silver) and Belarus's Vadim Devyatovskiy (men's hammer silver).[6] Belarusian Andrei Mikhnevich (shot put 6th) had also tested positive and was disqualified.[7]

The pack of nine was still together at the bell, although somewhat strung out. Bekele ran the last lap in 54 seconds, holding off the challenge of Mosop thanks to help from Sihine and Dinkessa, who boxed him on the penultimate straight. Bekele would then hold off a charge from Sihine, while Dinkessa faded to seventh due to his exertions.

A close heptathlon saw Eunice Barber take the early lead after winning the 100 mH and HJ. A foot injury hampered Carolina Klüft who jumped 12 cm below her season best in the HJ, however, she struck back in the SP with a PB. After the first day, Barber had only a 2-point lead over Klüft. Day two started with the LJ, where Klüft was expected to jump poorly due to her injury. If she had problems she hid them well, winning with an SB. In the JT Margaret Simpson set a new PB with an impressive 56.36 m, this would propel her to Ghana's first ever world championship medal. Before the final event, Klüft's lead was 18 points and Barber needed to beat her by 1.5 sec in the 800 m to win the gold medal. Barber stuck to Kelly Sotherton, the eventual winner of the race, until the last 200 m but Klüft timed her race perfectly to beat Barber with another PB.

Commemorative coin 8 See also 9 References 10 External linksBackground EditBidding Edit The original winning bid for the competition was for London but the cost to build the required stadium at Picketts Lock and host the event was deemed too expensive by the government UK Athletics suggested to move the host city to Sheffield using Don Valley Stadium but the IAAF stated that having London as the host city was central to their winning the bid The championships bidding process was reopened as a result The United Kingdom s withdrawal as host was the first case for a major sporting event in a developed country since Denver s withdrawal as host of the 1976 Winter Olympics 1 Helsinki was considered by many to be the outsider in the race to host the games with rival bids being presented by Berlin in Germany Brussels in Belgium Budapest in Hungary Moscow in Russia and Rome in Italy Opening ceremony Edit Apocalyptica and Nightwish performed at the opening ceremony of the event over a heavy rainfall Geir Ronning Finland s Eurovision Song Contest 2005 entrant sang Victory the official song of the 2005 IAAF World Championships Events Edit With the addition of the women s 3000 metres steeplechase to the schedule that year s program of events was closer to parity for women and men With the exception of the 50 km walk the women competed in practically the same events as the men Two differences remaining from before though were the short hurdles race 100 metres for women vs 110 metres for men and the multi event competition heptathlon for women vs decathlon for men Since the first World Championships in Helsinki 1983 seven new events have been added for women 10000 metres introduced in 1987 5000 metres replaced 3000 metres in 1995 triple jump introduced in 1993 20 km walk introduced in 1999 replaced 10 km walk that first appeared in 1987 pole vault introduced in 1999 hammer throw introduced in 1999 3000 metres steeplechase introduced in 2005Drug testing EditThe IAAF conducted their largest ever anti doping program at an athletics event for the championships with 705 athletes subjected to a total 884 of tests 2 There were two athletes who failed drugs tests Indian discus thrower Neelam Jaswant Singh tested positive for the stimulant pemoline and Vladyslav Piskunov a Ukrainian hammer thrower tested positive for the steroid drostanolone 3 Singh received a two year ineligibility ban 4 while Piskunov received a life ban from athletics as this was his second offence 5 In March 2013 the IAAF announced that re testing of samples taken during these championships revealed that five medal winners had proved positive for banned substances The athletes involved were Belarusian Nadzeya Ostapchuk shot put gold Belarusian Ivan Tsikhan hammer throw gold Russian Olga Kuzenkova hammer throw gold Russian Tatyana Kotova long jump silver and Belarus s Vadim Devyatovskiy men s hammer silver 6 Belarusian Andrei Mikhnevich shot put 6th had also tested positive and was
