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.
