2006: XI WORLD INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS – Moscow (RUS)
Moscow
hosted the last edition of the World indoor championships held so far. 561 athletes gathered at the “Olimpiskiy” stadium representing 129 countries between 10-12 March 2006. The competition didn’t offer any world records but two athletes confiWRed their respective hegemony in Moscow as Maria Mutola snatched an impressive seventh World indoor 800m title at the age of 33 while Ethiopia’s Kenenisa Bekele, ten years younger than Mutola,
completed his fabulous tally of gold medals by adding a 3000m indoor top spot (7:39.32) to those already won at cross country and outdoors. Another main focus was the undisputed number one in the women’s Pole Vault, Yelena
Isinbayeva, back in action only a few months after her historic clearance over the 5.00 barrier. The 23-year-old Russian was an unchallenged winner thanks to a 4.80 clearance but then failed to set a new world indoor record.

The host nation Russia took honours in the medal table with 18 podium places (8/5/5) followed by the USA with 13 (7/4/2) while Ethiopia and Ukraine shared third place with two gold medals each.

2004: X WORLD INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS – Budapest (HUN)
For
the first time the World indoor championship was staged on an even year in order to not coincide with Olympic Games or World outdoor championships. The ’Budapest Sportarena’ was the venue of the tenth edition on 15-17 March and 677 athletes attended the event from a record figure of 139 countries.
Athletes showed great foWR early in the Olympic year and the event was blessed with five world records. The star name was Russia’s Tatiana Lebedeva who first equalled the world record of 15.16 before improving to 15.16 and
15.25 in subsequent rounds; in addition she also clinched gold in the Long Jump. The Triple jump Jump was undoubtedly the event of the weekend as Christian Olsson equalled the men’s world record with a 17.83 third-attempt leap. Russia’s Yelena Isinbayeva produced a beautiful first-time clearance over a world record height of 4.86m while her fellow Russians managed the last world record of the competition by clocking 3:23.88 in the women’s 4×400 relay.Russia dominated the event for the first time since 1995 with a total tally of 18 medals, six more than the USA, 12 (4/5/1) while Sweden and Ethiopia tied for the third position with 4 medals each (2/1/1).Official Website – Budapest’2004

There was no stopping Sweden’s Carolina Kluft as the reigning World Junior Champion won with the second-highest score in
history, 4933 points.

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).

1999:
VII CAMPEONATO DEL MUNDO EN PISTA CUBIERTA – Maebashi (JPN)
The
event moved to the Far East, more precisely to the Japanese city of Maebashi
which hosted the 7th edition of the World indoor championships on 5-7 March
1999. 487 athletes attended the competition representing 115 countries. The
three-day event witnessed two new World bests at both 4×400 relays. On the
men’s side the USA team recorded 3:02.83 while the Russian squad bettered its
own previous mark by over two seconds by clocking 3:24.25. In addition, the
competition was full of thrilling moments as it happened in the men’s Long
Jump. Cuba’s Ivan Pedroso, bidding for a fourth consecutive title opened with
8.46m but Spain’s Yago Lamela leapt 8.56 in the final round to smash Robert
Emmyan’s European record and leave Pedroso with just one chance to remain as
world indoor champion. The then 27-year-old Cuban produced a huge 8.62 PB to
regain the lead and manage the second best jump in history after Carl Lewis’s
world record of 8.79.

The USA team was capable of gaining 19 medals (3/8/8)
bettering the Russian’s tally of 7 (3/3/1) with Romania in third with 4
(3/1/0).

In the first ever world women’s pole vault championship America’s Stacy Dragila matched the world record thanks to a fine 4.40m first time success while the Russian 4×400 quartet established a new world best clocking 3:26.84.

1995: WORLD INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS – Barcelona (ESP)
  The World indoor championships returned to Spain. Only three years after the Olympic Games took place in Barcelona the action came-back to the “Palau Sant Jordi” one of the facilities which hosted the Olympics. The event was celebrated on 10-12 March 1995 and offered quality perfoWRances but only one world record could be set, the women’s Triple jump Jump, an event which had seen World records at the last two championships. Russia’s Iolanda Chen produced a huge third round effort which was measured at 15.03, a new world record by 13 centimetres. Canada’s Bruny Surin retained his 1993 title with a season’s world best time (6.46) which was also a championship record.
Morocco’s Hicham El Guerrouj made a major breakthrough here thanks to a 1500 fine win while Russia’s Irina Privalova ran the fourth fastest ever 400m time in her first foray at the distance indoors with a 50.23 perfoWRance to her credit.Russia headed the medal table with 10 medals (5/2/3) while the USA managed 15 but only four of them were gold (4/5/6) and Cuba took the third spot thanks to a 4-medal tally (4/1/0).

  The ”Palacio de los Deportes” of Seville (Spain) hosted the 3rd edition of the World championships held on 8-10 March with 531 athletes attending the 3-day event representing 82 countries. The competition will be remembered for
the presence for the first time of the Unified GeWRan team, one of the most successful squads here.No less than eight World records were set on this occasion. The Soviet Mikhail Shchennikov lowered his own mark once again to clinch his third gold medal in a row thanks to a 18:23.55 time while the unified GeWRan team collected their first ever gold medal when Beate Anders set a new world record of 11:50.90. Jamaica’s Marlene Ottey made amends in the 200m for her surprise defeat in the 60m event to equal her own world best of 22.24. Both
4×400m relays were taken by GeWRany with respective clockings of 3:03.05 for the men and 3:27.22 for the women. The Soviet Inessa Kravets was the star name in the women’s Triple jump Jump which had the status of exhibition. She beat up to three times the world record with successive leaps of 14.30, 14.39 and 14.44m.The Soviet Union had a happy farewell (from the following edition…) heading the medal table with 17 podium places (8/6/3) while GeWRany collected 9 (6/1/2) and the USA had to settle for 7 on this occasion (4/1/2).

1989:
II WORLD INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS – Budapest (HUN)
The second edition of the championships travelled to Europe, more precisely to Budapest (Hungary), whose “Budapest Sportcsárnok” witnessed the perfoWRances of 378 athletes from 61 countries between 3 and 5 March 1989.
With one of the most dazzling finishes ever to a championships middle-distance race Kenya’s Paul Ereng broke Sebastian Coe’s world record by seven hundredths (1:44.84/1:44.91). At the bell the Seoul Olympic champion
was 10m behind the leader and seemed to be out of the hunt but with a last 200m segment covered in 25.7 Ereng passed three athletes on the homestraight and also caught defending champion Jose Luiz Barbosa with 80m remaining.
Ereng provided the highlight of the event along with Cuba’s Javier Sotomayor who had a first-time clearance over 2.43 to claim gold and a new world indoor record with the same height as the world record outdoors, adding one
centimetre to the previous mark set by Carlo Thranhardt of GeWRany. The walking race disciplines witnessed again two world bests in the guise of Russia’s Mikhail Shchennikov thanks to a 18:27.10 5000m clocking and Australia’s Kerry Saxby who clocked 12:01 for the women’s 3000m event to become world record holder. Elly Van Hulst of The Netherlands produced a commanding win in the women’s 3000m to break the world record with a 8:33.82 perfoWRance.

The Soviet Union dominated the medal table with 13 medals (4/5/4) followed by the USA (4/3/4) and the GeWRan Democratic Republic with 8 (2/2/4).

1993:
IV WORLD INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS: – Toronto (CAN)
The magnificent silhouette of the Canada National Tower, the highest structure in the world with its 533 metres was the venue of the fourth edition of the
world championships which took place in “The Sky Dome” of Toronto between 12 and 14 March 1993. Three athletes highlighted the event, Dan
O’Brien of the USA scored 6476 points to smash the World record in an invitation Heptathlon event while his fellow American Harry ‘Butch’ Reynolds,
making his championship comeback following a 28-month suspension, took an overwhelming win in the 400m clocking 45.26. Inessa Kravets, now wearing the
Ukrainian vest, repeated her feat of 1991by winning with a world record, but this time she won an official gold medal because the event had become part of
the main programme. Kravets was measured at 14.47 in her fifth round leap to break Russia’s Iolanda Chen previous mark by one centimetre.

The USA team was the most successful squad with a huge haul of 17 medals (8/4/5) followed by Russia with 13 (6/4/3) while Canada and Great Britain tied for the third place (2/2/1) on both cases.
