Athletics at the 1998 World Youth Games

At the 1998 World Youth Games the athletics competition was held from 14–17 July at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Russia. A total of 678 youth (under-18) athletes from 87 countries took part in the track and field events.The World Youth Games in Moscow. LA84 Foundation. Retrieved on 2013-10-20.

Several major countries with strong traditions in athletics were absent from the contests (among them Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany and the United States) and this undermined the overall quality of performances. Planned subsequent editions were not held.World Youth Games. GBR Athletics. Retrieved on 2013-10-20. Although the games were not an initial success, the idea was revived in 2010 and athletics events were again held as part of the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics, which garnered wide participation.
