2003 IAAF World Athletics Final – Results

These are the results of the 2003 IAAF World Athletics Final, which took place in at the Stade Louis II in Monte Carlo, Monaco on 13–14 September. The hammer throw events were staged separately on 7 September in Szombathely, Hungary, due to stadium limitations in Monaco.[1]

The competition replaced the IAAF Grand Prix Final, which had a varying set of events each year, with a full set programme of 33 track and field events. The year's top seven athletes, based on their IAAF World Rankings, qualified to compete in each event, with an extra four athletes selected for races of 1500 metres and above. One additional athlete, a wildcard, was allocated to each event by the IAAF and replacement athletes were admitted to replace the qualified athletes that could not attend the final.[2]

Two national records were set at the competition, both in the long jump. Frenchwoman Eunice Barber cleared a French record of 7.05 m (23 ft 1+1⁄2 in) while Ignisious Gaisah set a men's Ghanaian record of 8.26 m (27 ft 1 in). Many of the events were affected by the presence of athletes involved in the BALCO scandal, with Dwain Chambers, Zhanna Block, Kelli White, Ramon Clay, Duane Ross, Kevin Toth and Jerome Young all being subsequently disqualified for doping. Young had won the men's 400 metres and White was the women's 200 metres winner.
