{{Infobox Athletics Championships |Name = Athletics at the Friendship Games |Logo = |Size = 220px |Colour = #EDFF4B |Optional caption = |Host city = Moscow, Soviet Union (men) Prague, Czechoslovakia (women) |Dates = {{Start date|1984|8|16}} – {{End date|1984|8|18}} |Stadium = Grand Arena of the Central Lenin Stadium (men) Evžen Rošický Stadium (women) |Nations participating = 39 |Athletes participating = 529 |Events = 41 |Records set = |Level = Senior }}Athletics at the Friendship Games was contested in 41 events, 24 events by men and 17 by women. Men competed at the Grand Arena of the Central Lenin Stadium (now Luzhniki Stadium) in Moscow, Soviet Union between 17 and 18 August, while women's events took place at the Evžen Rošický Stadium in Prague, Czechoslovakia between 16 and 18 August 1984. One new world record was set, by East German Irina Meszynski in women's discus throw, with 73.36 m. As of 2017, it still ranks Meszynski sixth on the world all-time list.[1] In an unusual feat, Alberto Juantorena (Cuba) and Ryszard Ostrowski (Poland) both crossed the finish line at exactly the same moment in men's 800 metres run. After the officials were unable to decide who came first – not even using a photograph – both were declared winners.[2] The Soviet Union dominated the final medal tally, winning 24 gold and 63 total medals. East Germany finished second, with 8 and 19 respectively.
