The 15th World Championships in Athletics are scheduled be held in 2015 in Beijing, China.[1][2] The event will be the largest sporting event to take place at the Beijing National Stadium ("Bird's Nest") since the 2008 Summer Olympics.
When the seeking deadline passed on March 15, 2010, three candidate cities (Beijing, London and Chorzów) had confirmed their candidatures. [1] London then withdrew citing that they didn't want to seem to be biased towards the bids for the Olympic Stadium, by committing themselves to an athletics event, as host for this event was announced before their 2011 stadium bid deadline. London then stated that they would bid for 2017 and had the blessing of the IAAF to do so.[3] The IAAF announced Beijing as the winning candidate at the IAAF Council Meeting in Monaco on 20 November 2010. The Council of IAAF approved the dates of 22 August until 20 August 2015
