1980 World Championships in Athletics The 1980 World Championships in Athletics was the second global, international athletics competition organised by the International Association of Athletics Federations . Hosted from 14 to 16 August 1980 at the De Baandert in Sittard , Netherlands , it featured two events: the women's 400 metres hurdles and the women's 3000 metres run. West Germany's Birgit Friedmann took the first women's world title in the 3000 m , while her East German counterpart Bärbel Broschat became the first women's 400 m hurdles world champion .Summary Historically, the IAAF and the International Olympic Committee agreed that the Athletics at the Summer Olympics served as the world championship event for the sport. The IAAF began to expand its programme of approved events for women and this conflicted with the Olympic athletics programme . The 400 m hurdles was recently introduced event for female athletes while the 3000 m marked the increasing popularity of long-distance running events among women. Neither event was contested at the 1980 Moscow Olympics . The boycott of those Olympics and the presence of the Liberty Bell Classic gave the IAAF additional incentive to hold its own competition; although the Soviet Union withdrew, the events in Sittard attracted entries from countries on both sides of the Western and Eastern divide. A total of 42 women from 21 nations entered the competition – there were 18 participants in the 3000 m and 24 athletes in the 400 m hurdles. The hurdles format had four heats of six athletes, two semi-finals of eight athletes, then an "A" and a "B" final. The 3000 m run had two stages: two heats of nine athletes each, followed by a final of twelve athletes. The tournament followed the 1976 World Championships in Athletics , which featured just one event – the men's 50 kilometres walk – and was organised by the IAAF in reaction to the IOC dropping that event for the 1976 Summer Olympics . The 1980 World Championships preceded the launch of the IAAF's independent global event, with the inaugural 1983 World Championships in Athletics taking place three years later with a programme of 41 events. One athlete, Spain's Rosa Colorado , later had her results at the championships disqualified for doping offences.Medallists Schedule Heats Qualifying rule: the first three athletes in each heat plus the four fastest non-qualifiers progressed to the semi-finals.Rank Heat Name Nationality Time Notes 3 Bärbel Broschat 56.13 Q 4 Ellen Neumann 56.35 Q 1 Esther Mahr 57.51 Q 1 Hilde Frederiksen 57.72 Q 2 Petra Pfaff 57.92 Q 4 Christine Warden 57.84 Q 2 Lynette Foreman 58.07 Q 3 Mary Appleby 58.54 Q 1 Montserrat Pujol 58.54 Q 10 3 Rosa Colorado 58.79 Q 11 1 Olga Commandeur 58.87 q 12 4 Helle Sichlau 58.99 Q 13 2 Susan Dalgoutté 59.63 Q 14 2 Esther Kaufmann 59.74 q 15 2 Simone Büngener 59.98 q 16 3 Francine Gendron 1:00.40 q 17 3 Debra Melrose 1:00.46 18 1 Lai Lih-Jian 1:01.01 19 3 Ruth Dubois 1:01.12 20 2 Dominique Le Disset 1:01.22 21 4 Kim Whitehead 1:01.33 22 4 Andrea Wachter 1:02.28 23 4 Célestine N'Drin 1:04.91 – 1 Kirsi Ulvinen DSQ
