2003 IAAF World Athletics Final

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1st IAAF World Athletics Final was held at the Stade Louis II, in Monte Carlo, Monaco on September 13, and September 14, 2003.

The hammer throw event for men and women had to take place in Szombathely, Hungary a week previous as the Monaco stadium was not large enough to hold the event.

One of the biggest shocks came in the women's pole vault where current world record holder Yelena Isinbayeva failed to take a medal only managing to clear 4.5 metres.
