## Medal table

[edit]

Mascot Bonnie, a female harbour seal Mascot "Berlino", a bear from the city's coat of arms, first appeared as mascot of the 2009 IAAF World Championships in Athletics

Russia won the inaugural trophy and topped the medal table by gold medals won with 31, whilst co-hosts Great Britain topped the total medals table with 74 medals, 26 of which were gold. A chasing pack consisting of Italy, the Netherlands, co-hosts Germany and France each won over 10 gold medals and 40 medals in total.
