Athletics at the 1998 South American Games
Athletics at the VI South American Games | |
---|---|
Dates | October 26–30 |
Host city | Cuenca, Ecuador |
Venue | Estadio Alejandro Serrano Aguilar |
Level | Senior |
Events | 45 (24 men, 21 women) |
For the first time, a minimum participation of 4 nations per event was required to award a full set of medals. Men's triple jump and women's 4 x 400 m relay events were concerned, where athletes coming in third did not get bronze medals.[2] Women's marathon was completely cancelled, because there would have been only athletes from host country Ecuador.[3]
Medal summary
Medal winners were published in a book by written Argentinian journalist Ernesto Rodríguez III with support of the Argentine Olympic Committee (Spanish: Comité Olímpico Argentino) under the auspices of the Ministry of Education (Spanish: Ministerio de Educación de la Nación) in collaboration with the Office of Sports (Spanish: Secretaría de Deporte de la Nación).
All results are marked as "affected by altitude" (A), because the stadium in Cuenca is situated 2536 m above sea level.
Men
Notes
†: No medal because of lack of minimum participation.
