# 1992 CIS Athletics Championships

The 1992 CIS Athletics Championships was an international outdoor track and field competition for athletes from countries within the Commonwealth of Independent States. It was held on 22–24 June at Lokomotiv Stadium in Moscow, Russia. A total of 37 events were contested over three days.
This was the only time the competition was held, precipitated by the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the need to select athletes for the Unified Team at the 1992 Summer Olympics. After 1992, the former Soviet states each sent their own national teams and held their own national championships. The outdoor CIS competition followed the 1992 CIS Indoor Athletics Championships, which had served as the unified team selection meet for the 1992 European Athletics Indoor Championships.
There was no team aspect to the championships, thus relay races were not held. CIS competitions for racewalking, throwing and cross country running were held separately. The CIS Cross Country Championships was used to select the CIS team for the 1992 IAAF World Cross Country Championships. Highlights included a Russian national record of 10.82 seconds by Irina Privalova in the women's 100 metres and a Belarusian record 70.36 m by Natalya Shikolenko in the women's javelin throw.
