The women's programme expanded to match the men's within its first decade. The women's field events reached parity with the men's after the addition of the pole vault in 1997. The women's steeplechase appeared in 2000 metres steeplechase format in 1995 before taking the standard 3000 m distance in 2001. The 3000 metres and 5000 m alternated in early years, with the 5000 m becoming the regular event in 2003. [1]
