Due to technological restrictions, track events were timed to the tenth of a second, while road events were timed into hundredths. Women's full long-distance running events were added to the programme in the form of the 10,000 metres and the marathon (an Olympic women's 10,000 m had been introduced the previous year). The marathon was not the only new road event here, as a women's 10 km race walk was also initiated.[1] It was the first Arab women's walk championship, as same event only started at the Pan Arab Games in 1992.[2]
