History of IAAF World Challenge
1985 – Establishment of the IAAF Grand Prix – the milestone in the history of Word athletics. Sportsmen started to compete professionally.

The IAAF series stayed in this format till 2009 – the name was changing (since 1994 -IAAF Grand Prix II , then in 2005 it was changed into IAAF World Athletics Tour, which joined two levels of meetings: ÅF Golden League and IAAF Super Grand Prix events, and the second comprising IAAF Grand Prix events and area permit meetings).

Within this framework, The top athletic meetings were coupled in two phases:

•1993 – 1997 – Golden Four
•1998 – 2009 – Golden League


Plan, Council decided to create an Athletic One-Day Competition System based on a shared responsibility between the IAAF and the Area Associations.

As a consequence of the creation early this year of the IAAF Diamond League, a second tier of International One-Day meetings will be formed from those IAAF Permit Meetings who will not be part of the Diamond League plus the meetings of Daegu, Korea and Rabat, Morocco.

On the clear understanding that they will have had to satisfy all the requirements of the 2008 and 2009 Grand Prix level, these One-Day meetings will be formed into the IAAF World Challenge which will form the top part of the respective Area Competition System.

The programme of any meeting of the IAAF World Challenge will be composed of 16 events with a minimum of 7 by gender.

A balanced programme of disciplines will be mandatory with the allocation and coordination done by the IAAF and the concerned Area.

The Hammer Throw will be included within the competition structure of the IAAF World Challenge.

The IAAF World Challenge a new series of international one-day invitational meetings commenced on Thursday 4 March in Melbourne, Australia, with the Melbourne Track Classic.

The IAAF World Challenge takes place from March to September and, along with the IAAF Diamond League which commences on 14 May in Doha, Qatar, makes up the two elements of the IAAF's new one-day competition format, offering a bright new era for the international invitational track and field circuit.

Each IAAF World Challenge meeting will include 16 events balanced across the full range of disciplines, with prize money totalling a minimum of US$200,000 (per meeting)

The Daegu IAAF World Challenge Meet is on tonight (Thursday 12th May).

Daegu time is an hour behind Eastern Standard Time. Eg: The Men's 400m featuring Sean Wroe (scheduled for 7.30) will be on at 8.30pm EST.

Oliver, Jeter and Felix dominate in Daegu - IAAF World Challenge

IAAF Website
12 May 2011

The Colorful Daegu Pre Championships meeting today (12) showed that athletes are ready to perform at the Daegu Stadium which in just three-and-a-half months time will host the IAAF World Championships (27 August – 4 September 2011).

This IAAF World Challenge meeting provided a good check on conditions at the stadium and it appeared that things are in order. Wind on the front straight stayed quite calm and should make fast times possible at the World Championships. The weather was sunny with temperature at around 20 degrees Celsius, but that seemed to suit most events today. In all four world leads were produced.

Oliver in a class of his own
Three American favourites took the spotlight, really excelling and winning comfortably in their respective events. In the men's 110m Hurdles David Oliver was as expected in a class of his own. The 29-year-old was in the lead from the start, finishing with a 13.13 world leader in windless conditions. This was already the third win in as many competitions this season for the Beijing Olympics bronze medallist who extended his win streak to 18 finals. Oliver's last loss came in his last competition of the 2009 campaign in Zagreb where Ryan Brathwaite of Barbados won in 13.35 against Oliver's 13.41. Second in Daegu today was fellow American Aries Merritt in a 13.30 season's best followed by Jamaican Dwight Thomas in 13.40. Oliver seemed to have a very clean race not hitting the hurdles as he has done before.

Jeter and Felix dominate
The second of the commanding Americans was Carmelita Jeter in the women's 100m. Jeter, who has been the fastest runner in the world since September 2009, was already the world leader with a 10.86 dash in Kingston last Saturday. In Daegu the bronze medallist from two previous World Championships was fastest out of the blocks and showed no problems whatsoever en route to her 11.09 inw. Another American, Doha 200m winner LaShauntea Moore, was a distant second clocking 11.27 with Gabon record holder Ruddy Zang Milama in third with 11.35.

In the 200m Allyson Felix took the win in a very similar style leading the race clearly already after the curve. Felix was expected to run a world leader in this race and she did crush the previous 22.65 mark clocking a 22.38 win today. She was absolutely dominant with countrywoman Connie Moore in second place far far away in 23.16 and Russian Barcelona European Champs bronze medallist Aleksandra Fedoriva a close third in 23.17.

In the women's 100m Hurdles, winner of the last two World Indoor Championships (60m hurdles), 28-year-old Lolo Jones, started brightly and lead for most of the race. But while fellow Americans Kellie Wells and Dawn Harper seemed to be catching her coming to the last hurdle, Jones stumbled and finished third well behind the top two clocking a disappointing 12.95 result. Reigning Olympic champion Harper went on to win in a season's best 12.73 with world leading athlete (12.58) Wells finishing second in 12.81.

Another event with fine results was the men's 100m race where American Walter Dix showed that he is ready to look for more major medals in addition to the two he won in Beijing Olympics. Dix clocked a fast 10.00 in his first 100m start of the season just edging 60m specialist Mike Rodgers, also from USA, who clocked 10.03 for second. Jayduma Saidy Ndure of Norway was third in 10.09, a season's best. There was a rare moment at the start of the race with two athletes disqualified for a false start in the same start. Rae Edwards of USA and Churandy Martina of the Netherlands were both lead off the track.

In the other men's events Japanese Yuzo Kanemaru finished fast in the men's flat 400m race to dip to the finish line just before 2008 Olympic bronze medallist David Neville (USA) to win 45.23 to 45.24. Boaz Lalang of Kenya won the 800m in 1:45.90 and in the Javelin Throw Igor Janik of Poland started his season with a fine 82.18m win.
