We did not know it at the time, but the entry list was laden with superstars of the future, including Hicham El Guerrouj, Haile Gebrselassie, Koji Murofushi, Debbie Ferguson, Cathy Freeman and Paula Radcliffe. It is quite possible that some of these names might return to the Korean peninsula in 2011, but for sure we will see many more athletes of their calibre bidding for world medals. Now we are at the 13th edition of our World Championships. With each staging, a book such as this becomes more important. There are ever more results and associated statistics to cram into a book which must be handy for those to carry to and from Daegu Stadium for each day of action. It is sad that the 12 books which preceded this are not much use now, because even some of the things we would not have expected to change have had to be revised due to dop- ing revelations and fluctuation in the way certain names are spelt. There is a need to set straight past records as well as listing the new ones for the first time. More important than any of that will be what happens in Daegu, and if this book helps to put into context the facts and feats achieved by the class of ’11, then it will have done it’s job. This book is a collection of data which has been painstakingly compiled by members of the Association of Track & Field Statisticians (ATFS), who for more than 60 years now have been the ones who have been putting the statistics of our sport in order. On behalf of the IAAF Family I send my thanks for their assiduousness without which we would be lost. La dernière fois que l’IAAF a organisé des championnats en Corée, c’était à l’occasion des mondiaux juniors de 1992, à Séoul. Nous ne le savions pas alors, mais la liste des engagés comportait des noms qui allaient très vite devenir pres- tigieux: Hicham El Guerrouj, Haile Gebrselassie, Koji Murofushi, Debbie Ferguson, Cathy Freeman et Paula Radcliffe. Il est possible que certains d’entre eux soient encore du voyage dans la péninsule coréenne en 2011. Ce qui est sûr, en revanche, c’est que nous allons voir davantage d’athlètes de cette envergure s’affronter pour décrocher des médailles en championnats. Il s’agit de nos 13ème Championnats du monde. A chaque nouvelle édition, un ouvrage tel que celui-ci devient plus important. Il y a toujours plus de résultats et de statistiques à intégrer dans un livre qui doit être facile à emporter lors des aller et retour quotidiens au stade de Daegu pour les compétitions. Il est regrettable que les 12 exemplaires précé- dents ne puissent plus guère être utilisés car même certaines données que nous pensions immuables ont dû être changées, soit en raison des révélations de dopage, soit du fait des modifications dans la transcription de certains noms. Il est nécessaire que les données des précédentes éditions soient corrigées et que les nouvelles soient incor- porées. Mais le plus important reste ce qui se passera à Daegu, et si cet ouvrage contribue à mettre en perspectives les résultats et les exploits réalisés par la « Promotion 2011 », alors il aura pleinement rempli son office. Ce livre est un recueil de données qui ont été soigneusement compilées par les membres de l’Association des Statisticiens Track & Field (ATFS). Depuis plus de 60 ans, ils ont collationné les statistiques d’athlétisme et les ont organisées et transcrites. Que serions-nous devenus sans leur précieuse contribution et leur assiduité ? Au nom de toute la communauté de l’IAAF, je tiens à leur renouveler nos remerciements.
