The athletics competition at the 2010 Commonwealth Games was held in New Delhi, India between 6 and 14 October. The track and field events took place between 6–12 October at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium while the marathon contests were held on a street course running through the city on 14 October.{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20100927051033/http://www.cwgdelhi2010.org/sport/athletics 2010 CWG - Athletics]}}. 2010 Commonwealth Games. Retrieved on 5 October 2010.

A total of 46 athletics events were contested, which made it the sport with the second greatest number of medals on offer after the aquatics competition. The programme was almost identical to that of the 2006 edition, with the sole exception being the men's 50 km race walk, which was dropped. As in 2006, three men's and three women's disability athletics events were contested alongside the open competition.{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20100925202221/http://www.cwgdelhi2010.org/para_sport CWG - Para-sport]}}. 2010 Commonwealth Games.

Each of the Commonwealth Games Associations could send a maximum of three participants per event and a team of six for relay events.[http://commonwealthdelhi2010.blogspot.com/2010/07/2010-commonwealth-games-athletics.html 2010 Commonwealth Games Athletics events]. 2010 Commonwealth Games (24 July 2010). Kenya topped the medal table, with eleven gold medals and 29 medals in total. This was the first time that the nation achieved the feat, beating the typically dominant nations Australia (eleven golds, but 20 overall) and England (seven golds, 26 medals).Rowbottom, Mike (14 October 2010) [http://www.iaaf.org/news/kind=100/newsid=58516.html Double marathon triumph for Kenya ends athletics programme at Commonwealth Games]. IAAF. Retrieved on 15 October 2010. Canada and Jamaica rounded out the top five while hosts India enjoyed their greatest ever haul at the Games, taking home two golds and twelve medals altogether.

Four failed doping tests have so far been announced: Nigerian Oludamola Osayomi was stripped of the women's 100 m title, and her compatriot Samuel Okon, a 110 m hurdler, was also disqualified. Both athletes tested positive for methylhexanamine. Rani Yadav, India's representative in the women's 20 km walk, was the third athlete to fail a test as 19-Norandrosterone was detected in her sample.Bull, Andy (13 October 2010).

Osayomi's 100 m stripped gold initially went to Sally Pearson of Australia but a delay in the appeals process saw Pearson disqualified for a false start some time after the race.[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/commonwealth_games/delhi_2010/9073167.stm 'Communication blunder' sees Pearson stripped of gold]. BBC Sport (4 August 2010). Retrieved on 9 October 2010. Folashade Abugan of Nigeria tested positive for Testosterone prohormone following the final of the women's 400 metres. She was disqualified from the 400 metres and the Nigerian team, of which she was a member, were disqualified from the women's 4 x 400 metres relay where they had originally placed second.{{Cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/commonwealth_games/delhi_2010/9095226.stm |title=Third Nigerian fails drugs test |date=15 October 2010}}

Preparation

A test event for the competition was scheduled in late July: the Asian All-Star Athletics Meet featured a number of prominent Asian athletes and demonstrated the stadium's readiness for games usage.[https://web.archive.org/web/20110811085854/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-07-21/athletics/28291789_1_discus-thrower-saurabh-vij-renjith-maheswary Tough fight awaits in 29-30 July Asian All-Star Meet]. Times of India (21 July 2010). Retrieved on 21 July 2010.[http://www.iaaf.org/news/kind=100/newsid=57860.html Locals provide the highlights as Asian All-Star meeting tests Commonwealth Games track]. IAAF (31 July 2010). Retrieved on 4 October 2010.

Many of the most prominent athletes from the Commonwealth were absent from the competition. Caster Semenya, Commonwealth champion Christine Ohuruogu, and Olympic medallist Lisa Dobriskey were among the athletes missing due to injury, but others including Usain Bolt, David Rudisha and Shelly-Ann Fraser opted to miss the competition out of choice – all ten of the year's fastest Commonwealth men's 100 m runners (including defending champion Asafa Powell) were not present.Rowbottom, Mike (5 October 2010). [http://www.iaaf.org/news/kind=100/newsid=58449.html Kenya looking to dethrone England and Australia in Delhi – Commonwealth Games preview]. IAAF. Retrieved on 4 October 2010. Further to this, two reigning world champions (English jumper Phillips Idowu and Australian thrower Dani Samuels) declared themselves out of the running on grounds of the security and accommodation conditions in Delhi. The competition's late scheduling within the track and field season was a primary factor in many athlete withdrawals.Jones, Phil (2 October 2010). [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/commonwealth_games/delhi_2010/9053998.stm Commonwealth Games 2010: Time for new athletics heroes]. BBC Sport. Retrieved on 5 October 2010.

In spite of this, a number of Olympic champions and other prominent names were selected to compete, including Australian Olympic/World champion Steve Hooker and New Zealand's Olympic/World Champion Valerie Adams, top Kenyan runners Nancy Langat, Vivian Cheruiyot and Ezekiel Kemboi, Bahamian high jumper Donald Thomas, and South Africa's Commonwealth champions L.J. van Zyl and Sunette Viljoen. Former world record holder Steve Cram emphasised the Games' role in developing younger athletes: "That's what it was for me, at 17 years old I went to the Commonwealth Games because Coe and Ovett didn't go. Nobody at the time was telling me it was bad that Coe and Ovett weren't there."

The stadium's track and field was damaged during the opening ceremony and major works – including the re-laying of the tarmac on the track and grass on the infield – took place in the 24 hours leading up to the first day of athletics events at the stadium.[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/commonwealth_games/delhi_2010/9063800.stm Commonwealth Games 2010: Stadium in race to be ready ]. BBC Sport (5 October 2010). Retrieved on 5 October 2010. Three training venues were allocated for the athletics events: the Commonwealth Games Village 2010, Thyagaraj Sports Complex and the Delhi University sports complex.
