The final stage of the athletics events (also known as track and field) of the 6th Summer Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR were held in the Central Lenin (Luzhniki) Stadium in Moscow between 27 July and 30 July 1979. Traditionally it also served as the 1975 Soviet Athletics Championships.

Overview

During the four days there were awarded 37 sets of medals. The Spartakiad and Championship winners in decathlon and pentathlon competitions (combined events of track and field) were determined earlier from 7 to 9 June. Those events took place in Tallinn.

The competition was won by Moscow, followed by Ukrainian SSR, and Russian SFSR.

Two new Soviet records were made: Vladimir Kischkun won pole vault with a 5.45, breaking previous record by 4 cm, and Natalya Lebedeva won 100 metres hurdles with a new Soviet record of 12,8, cutting previous record by 0,2 seconds. The competition record in triple jump was set by Viktor Saneyev who defended his championship title by jumping 17.33 meters.

Same as during the 1971 Spartakiad, the triple-title champion of the Spartakiad became Valeriy Borzov earning 6 gold medals in total and repeating the record of Galina Popova (won in 1959 and 1963).

One event of the Soviet Athletic Championship, cross country running, which took place earlier in Tbilisi (April 20), was not part of the Spartakiad. Also, in 1975 there was the Soviet Indoor Athletics Championships which took place in Leningrad (February 18-19) and did not count towards the Spartakiad.
