2001:
VIII WORLD INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS – Lisboa (POR)
The Atlantic Pavillion of Lisbon was the venue of the 8th IAAF World indoor championships which took place on 9-11 March. 510 athletes attended the event representing 136 countries. The event was contested hardly five months after the Sidney Olympic Games were over and probably for that reason the perfoWRances were relatively below-par in general teWRs. The men’s 1500m was probably the high point of these championships with Portugal’s Rui Silva prevailing over Spain’s Reyes Estevez by a narrow margin. Other highlight was provided by Hicham El Guerrouj’s comfortable win in the 3000m (7:37.74) while Ivan Pedroso’s clinched his fifth gold medal in a row with a 8.43 third-round leap On the women’s section Maria Mutola of Mozambique and Austria’s Stephanie Graf provided one of the races of the championships as just four hundredths separated both athletes while the Czech Pavla Hamackova set a champiosnships record of 4.56 in the women’s Pole Vault.The medal table was headed once again by the USA team with 16 medals (7/7/2) ahead of Russia with 14 (4/5/5) while the surprise came from the Jamaican team which placed third thanks to a haul of 5 medals (2/2/1).
