Helsinki Olympic Stadium at the opening day of the 2005 World Championships in Athletics.

The 10th World Championships in Athletics (Шаблон:Lang-fi, Шаблон:Lang-sv), 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.

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:

• 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 2005

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. 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. Singh received a two-year ineligibility ban, while Piskunov received a life ban from athletics as this was his second offence.

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). Belarusian Andrei Mikhnevich (shot put 6th) had also tested positive and was disqualified.

	This was the first 800–1500 m double in open global championship since New Zealand's Peter Snell achieved it at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964. Ramzi, near the front at the bell, kicked with 300 metres to go and made another decisive move with 200 to go.

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.

	Sergey Kirdyapkin, the former junior world champion led from early on and secures the global title in a personal best time.

Italian Alex Schwazer powers through late on to claim the bronze in a national record 3:41.54. There were fourteen disqualifications, and seven athletes did not finish.

	Tirunesh Dibaba becomes the first woman to win the 5000 m and 10000 m at the same championships. Also, as in the 10000 m race, the winner's elder sister Ejegayehu Dibaba takes the bronze, stepping onto an entirely Ethiopian podium.

	Fascinating race with Paula Radcliffe, using the race as preparation for the marathon, setting most of the pace before her lack of competitive 10k races this season sees her drop back with three laps to go. The three medal winners shows amazing acceleration with one lap to go, Berhane Adere kicking first but quickly covered by Tirunesh Dibaba with elder sister Ejegayehu Dibaba unable to match their pace. Tirunesh kicks again and goes past Adere with 250 metres to go to claim the gold. Reigning Olympic champion Xing Huina cannot cope with the acceleration and finishes fourth.

Derartu Tulu finishes fourth.

	Yuliya Pechonkina wins the gold. The USA appeals after Pechonkina appears to have not jumped over the first hurdle correctly, but the appeal fails.
3000 m s'chase Шаблон:DetailsLink	Dorcus Inzikuru Шаблон:Flagcountry	9:18.24 CR	Yekaterina Volkova Шаблон:Flagcountry	9:20.49 PB	Jeruto Kiptum Шаблон:Flagcountry	9:26.95 NR

2001 | 2003 | 2005 | 2007 | 2009

High jump Шаблон:DetailsLink	Kajsa Bergqvist Шаблон:Flagcountry	2.02 WL	Chaunte Howard Шаблон:Flagcountry	2.00 PB	Emma Green Шаблон:Flagcountry	1.96 PB
	The weather conditions during final were not the best, and may well have hampered performances. Kajsa Bergqvist showed what willpower and dedication can achieve, as she claimed her first world championship gold medal after clearing 2.02m with only one foul in her entire series of jumps despite being having only recovered from injury within the past few months. Newcomer Chaunte Howard was the only real threat to Kajsa, and a big surprise, seemingly to herself as much as to the spectators. Her respectable jump technique and result make her someone to keep an eye on in the future. Swede Emma Green continued her quick rise to the elite level, taking the bronze in her first ever major championships.
Pole vault Шаблон:DetailsLink	Yelena Isinbayeva Шаблон:Flagcountry	5.01 WR	Monika Pyrek Шаблон:Flagcountry	4.60	Pavla Hamáčková Шаблон:Flagcountry	4.50
	Already having secured her victory by doing the competition's only 4.70 m jump, Yelena Isinbayeva breaks her own world record from three weeks ago by 1 centimetre.
Long jump Шаблон:DetailsLink	Tianna Madison Шаблон:Flagcountry	6.89 PB	Eunice Barber Шаблон:Flagcountry	6.76	Yargelis Savigne Шаблон:Flagcountry	6.69
	An unexpected win for Tianna Madison, as Tatyana Kotova finishes second for the third World Outdoor Championships in a row. In 2013 Kotova's drug test sample from this event had been retested and found to be positive.
Triple jump Шаблон:DetailsLink	Trecia Smith Шаблон:Flagcountry	15.11 WL	Yargelis Savigne Шаблон:Flagcountry	14.82 PB	Anna Pyatykh Шаблон:Flagcountry	14.78
	Trecia Smith makes the three longest jumps in the final to take the gold. Yargelis Savigne takes silver in her first international competition with Anna Pyatykh third. Pre-event favourite Tatyana Lebedeva from Russia, who would go on to be the sole winner of the 2005 Golden League jackpot, did not take part because of injury.
Shot put Шаблон:DetailsLink	Olga Ryabinkina Шаблон:Flagcountry	19.64	Valerie Vili Шаблон:Flagcountry	19.62	Nadine Kleinert Шаблон:Flagcountry	19.07
	Twenty-year-old Valerie Vili earns a surprise bronze, as Nadzeya Ostapchuk wins her first Outdoor World Championships Gold. In March 2013 the IAAF reported that Ostapchuk's drug test sample from this event had been retested and found to be positive. Her result was subsequently annulled.
Discus throw Шаблон:DetailsLink	Franka Dietzsch Шаблон:Flagcountry	66.56 SB	Natalya Sadova Шаблон:Flagcountry	64.33	Věra Pospíšilová-Cechlová Шаблон:Flagcountry	63.19
	Dominating the competition in her second podium performance over the course of eight World Championships, Franka Dietzsch gets the gold medal, as she did in Sevilla six years ago.
Hammer throw Шаблон:DetailsLink	Yipsi Moreno Шаблон:Flagcountry	73.08	Tatyana Lysenko Шаблон:Flagcountry	72.46	Manuela Montebrun Шаблон:Flagcountry	71.41
	The original winner, Olga Kuzenkova of Russia was stripped of the gold medal after failing drugs tests revision in 2013. The rest of the competitors were elevated by one position accordingly.
Javelin throw Шаблон:DetailsLink	Osleidys Menéndez Шаблон:Flagcountry	71.70 WR	Christina Obergföll Шаблон:Flagcountry	70.03 AR	Steffi Nerius Шаблон:Flagcountry	65.96
	A high-quality contest where Olympic champion Osleidys Menéndez sets a new world record whereas Christina Obergföll sets a new European record.
Heptathlon Шаблон:DetailsLink	Carolina Klüft Шаблон:Flagcountry	6887 SB	Eunice Barber Шаблон:Flagcountry	6824	Margaret Simpson Шаблон:Flagcountry	6375
	(13.19 - 1.82 - 15.02 - 23.70 - 6.87 - 47.20 - 2:08.89)		(12.94 - 1.91 - 13.20 - 24.01 - 6.75 - 48.24 - 2:11.94)		(13.55 - 1.79 - 13.33 - 24.94 - 6.09 - 56.36 - 2:17.02)
	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.
