OBS

The International Amateur Athletic Federation was founded in 1912 by 17 national athletic federations who saw the need for a governing authority, for an athletic programme, for standardised technical equipment and world records ... This move towards a more professional sport was particularly recognised in 2001, when the IAAF Congress voted unanimously for the organisation's name to be changed to the International Association of Athletics Federations.
