| World Athletics Championships appearances (overview) | |
Colombia has won a total of 10 medals at the World Athletics Championships. Race walker Luis Fernando López won the country's first medal at the championships, a bronze that eventually turned into gold due to the disqualification for doping of the athletes who ranked first and second at the men's 20 kilometres race walk event at the 2011 Championships in Daegu, South Korea.[1] Caterine Ibargüen is the most successful Colombian athlete at the championships, with 5 medals in total.[2]
Before the medals won in 2011, sprinter Ximena Restrepo had the most outstanding presentation made by a Colombian athlete at the World Championships. She ranked sixth at the women's 400m event at the 1991 edition in Tokio. Also, Luis Fernando López ranked fourth at the men's 20 km walk event during the Berlin 2009 Championships.
