 How to find athlete's IAAF page

Suppose you'd like to link to an IAAF bio page on Carl Lewis using this template. To do that, it is necessary to obtain the id parameter, which is encoded in the page URL. The procedure is simple:

1) Go to http://www.iaaf.org/athletes

2) Find the athlete using the web page navigation (name and/or country).

3) When you find Carl Lewis, his profile's URL will look something like this:

http://www.iaaf.org/athletes/united-states/carl-lewis-1622

The number at the end of the url is the athlete's id (in this case, 1622)

4) Edit the article and insert the following text (assuming you are adding the link to the External links section):

*{{IAAF name|1622}}

After saving the page, it is always a good idea to double check if the link you've created is correct by clicking on it.

 Remarks

The IAAF database currently only covers athletes active from the 1980s to the present day; you won't find Emil Zatopek or Alberto Juantorena. Still, it is fairly comprehensive; all notable athletes are covered, along with many non-notable ones.
