{{short description|None}}
The '''[[1st World Festival of Youth and Students]]''' featured an [[athletics (sport)|athletics]] competition among its programme of events. The events were contested in [[Prague]], Czechoslovakia in August 1947. Mainly contested among [[Eastern Europe]]an athletes, it served as an alternative to the more Western European-oriented [[1947 International University Games]] held in [[Paris]] the same year.<ref name=GBR>[http://www.gbrathletics.com/ic/uie.htm World Student Games (UIE)].

Prominent competitors included [[Ivan Gubijan]], [[Wacław Kuźmicki]] and [[Olga Šicnerová]], all of whom later participated at the [[1948 Summer Olympics]]. Double sprint gold medallist [[Ion Moina]]'s feats later led to the [[Stadionul Ion Moina (1911)|Stadionul Ion Moina]] being named in his honour. [[Přemysl Hajný]] won a [[shot put]] and [[discus throw]] double in the men's section and later won an Olympic silver medal in [[ice hockey]] at the [[1948 Winter Olympics]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200418033129/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ha/premysl-hainy-1.html Přemysl Hainý].
