The 1992 CIS Indoor Athletics Championships was an international outdoor track and field competition for athletes from countries within the Commonwealth of Independent States. It was held on 1–2 February at CSKA Palace of Sports in Moscow, Russia. A total of 29 events were contested over two days. Women competed in the steeplechase for the first time. Highlights included an Asian record of 6.51 seconds by Vitaliy Savin in the men's 60 metres.
This was the only time the competition was held, precipitated by the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the need to select athletes for the unified team at the 1992 European Athletics Indoor Championships. After 1992, the former Soviet states each sent their own national teams and held their own national championships. The indoor CIS competition was followed later that year by the outdoor 1992 CIS Athletics Championships, which served as the selection meet for the Unified Team at the 1992 Summer Olympics.[1] [2]
The men's heptathlon and women's pentathlon were held separately from the main competition, taking place in Saint Petersburg the following week.
The CIS Indoor Combined Events Championships was held on 8–9 February in Saint Petersburg at the Winter Stadium.
