2003 World Championships in Athletics – Men's 1500 metres

These are the official results of the Men's 1500 metres event at the 2003 IAAF World Championships in Paris, France.

There were a total number of 29 participating athletes, with three qualifying heats, two semi-finals and the final held on Wednesday 27 August 2003 at 21:00h.

With all eyes on the world record holder Hicham El Guerrouj, the final started with home team favorite Mehdi Baala taking the lead off the line though he was Reyes Estévez uncharacteristically took the lead and began pushing the pace a half lap into the race.

In the final turn, Chouki accelerated past Estévez, but only Baala had managed to stay close to El Guerrouj.

Estévez passed him but his hold on the bronze medal position was short-lived as Heshko, Korir and Rui Silva all ran past him before the line.
