Wikipedia:WikiProject Athletics/Tasks/Top 10 athletes (2014)
This is a list of athletes without an article who featured within the top-10 rankings of a World Championships in Athletics event in 2014.
The act of featuring the top 10 does not in itself make an athlete automatically notable, but it often indicates that the athlete performs at a notable level of the sport – many will have competed internationally. Significant exceptions include US college athletes, one-off performances, and athletes from nations which have significant strength in depth in certain events.
Walks are excluded due to the often varying judging standards in national competitions (which usually provide the fastest times).
