<  2013 Moscow 2017 London  >

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.

Bidding process

When the seeking deadline passed on 15 March 2010, three candidate cities (Beijing, London and Chorzów) had confirmed their candidatures.[3][4] 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 the host for this event was to be 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.[5] The IAAF announced Beijing as the winning candidate at the IAAF Council Meeting in Monaco on 20 November 2010.[6] The Council of IAAF approved the dates of 22 August until 30 August 2015

Venue

Main venue will be the Beijing National Stadium (Bird's Nest) with a capacity of 80,000 spectators. However, due the likely weather patterns that will emerge during the event it was announced that the bottom two tiers of the stadium will be used for a maxiumum capacity of 54,000. But if more people want tickets then the top tier will be open.[7]

Participating nations

Currently based on athletes who have already qualified for the Championships by being a defending World Champion, a 2014 Diamond League Champion or an Area Champion. Note: Oceana will conduct its championships in May 2015, CONSUDATLE (South America) and AAC (Asia) will conduct their championships in June 2015, the NACAC (North America) will conduct its championships three weeks before the World Championships. These numbers should increase greatly as participating nations select their representatives later in the 2015 season.
