the 1st iaaf world athletics final was held at the stade louis ii, in monte carlo, monaco on 13 september and 14 september 2003. 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 women's pole vault where current world record holder yelena isinbayeva failed to take a medal after only managing to clear 4.5 metres. __notoc__ == medal winners == {|class="wikitable" width="80%" ! event ! style="background: e8e8e8 " | 1st: ! style="background: e8e8e8 " | 2nd: ! style="background: e8e8e8 " | 3rd: |- === men's events === |men's 100 m | bernard williams, usa | john capel, usa | uchenna emedolu, nigeria |- |men's 110 m hurdles | allen johnson, usa | terrence trammell, usa | staÅislavs olijars, latvia |- |men's 200 m | joshua johnson, usa | shawn crawford, usa | stÃ©phan buckland, mauritius |- |men's 400 m | jerome young, usa | michael blackwood, jamaica | alleyne francique, grenada |- |men's 400 m hurdles | fÃ©lix sÃ¡nchez, dominican republic | kemel thompson, jamaica | danny mcfarlane, jamaica |- |men's 800 m | wilfred bungei, kenya | joseph mutua, kenya | andrÃ© bucher, switzerland |- |men's 1,500 m | paul korir, kenya | alex kipchirchir, kenya | ivan heshko, ukraine |- |men's 3,000 m | kenenisa bekele, ethiopia | john kibowen, kenya | abraham chebii, kenya |- |men's 3,000 m s'chase | saif saaeed shaheen, qatar | paul kipsiele koech, kenya | ezekiel kemboi, kenya |- |men's 5,000 m | eliud kipchoge, kenya | richard limo, kenya | gebregziabher gebremariam, ethiopia |- |men's long jump | dwight phillips, usa | hussein taher al-sabee, saudi arabia | ignisious gaisah, ghana |- |men's triple jump | christian olsson, sweden | walter davis, usa | kenta bell, usa |- |men's high jump | yaroslav rybakov, [[r
