View source for 2003 IAAF World Athletics Final

{{Short description|International track and field competition}}
The '''1st [[IAAF World Athletics Final]]''' was held at the [[Stade Louis II]], in [[Monte Carlo]], [[Monaco]] on 13 September and 14 September 2003. It was the series finale for the [[2003 IAAF World Outdoor Meetings]] and the successor tournament to the [[2002 IAAF Grand Prix Final]].

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 [[pole vault]] where current [[world record]] holder [[Yelena Isinbayeva]] failed to take a medal after only managing to clear 4.50 metres.
