The IAAF World Athletics Final was first held in 2003, replacing the IAAF Grand Prix Final. Athletes qualify for the event based on their world ranking in each event (a complex points based system taking into account an athletes 6 best performances throughout the previous 12 months in a wide range of international meetings). The event is staged over two days to enable all standard events to be included on the programme each year.
