The 2017 IAAF World Championships are the 16th edition currently being held from 4−13 August in London, United Kingdom. London was officially awarded the Championships by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), in Monaco, on 11 November 2011.[1]
Bidding process
When the seeking deadline passed on 1 September 2011, two candidate cities (London and Doha) had confirmed their candidatures.[2] Barcelona, which investigated a bid, withdrew citing a lack of support from the local population and financial difficulties.[3] The IAAF Evaluation Commission evaluated the bids of the two remaining cities. The commission visited London on 2 October before departing for Doha on 4 October and staying there until 6 October. On 11 November 2011, the winner was officially announced as London.[4]
Doha
On 5 September 2011, Doha launched its marketing bid for the 2017 World Championships.[5] The slogan of the bid was "The RIGHT PARTNER for a stronger World Championships." The bid was led by Abdullah Al Zaini and Aphrodite Moschoudi. Moschoudi successfully led Qatar's bid for the 2015 Handball World Championships. Doha also brought in Brian Roe, a member of the IAAF Technical Committee. The bid was for the championships to be held in the renovated, climate-controlled Khalifa Stadium.[6] The Corniche promenade was to hold the road races, with the committee proposing to hold the marathon at night after the opening ceremony.[7]
London
On 6 September 2011, London unveiled its bid for the 2017 championships with the slogan "Ready to break records." This was London's fourth bid in less than 15 years to host the event.[8][9] The London bid team said that if their bid was successful they would introduce the "Women in World Athletics" programme.[10]
Venue
The championships will be held in the Olympic Stadium in Stratford, London, which hosted the 2012 Summer Olympics, and has a capacity of 60,000.
Ticketing
Six days before the events were due to begin, it was reported that more than 660,000 tickets had been sold, which was a new record for the World Championships, surpassing the previous record of 417,156 tickets sold for Berlin 2009.[11]
Media coverage
Rights to televise the championships in the United Kingdom belong to the BBC.[12] In the United States, NBC Sports holds rights to the event.[13][14][15] In Canada the rights belong to the national broadcaster the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.[16]
Marketing
Mascot
The mascots for the IAAF Championships and World ParaAthletics Championships were unveiled in April 2017, and chosen through a children's design contest organized by the BBC programme Blue Peter. The mascots represent "everyday" endangered species of the UK; the IAAF Championships mascot is an anthropomorphic hedgehog named Hero.[17]
Entry standards
The qualification period for the 10,000 metres, marathon, race walks, relays, and combined events runs from 1 January 2016 to 23 July 2017. For all other events, the qualification period runs from 1 October 2016 to 23 July 2017.

Russian suspension
Russia is currently indefinitely suspended from international competition due to a doping scandal, and will therefore not be present at the Championships. Nevertheless, 19 Russian athletes have been allowed to participate in international competition including as "authorised neutral athletes" at London 2017 following a long process to show that they were not directly implicated in Russia's state doping program.[19] These athletes include Mariya Kuchina (high jump), Sergey Shubenkov (110 metres hurdles), Ilya Shkurenev (decathlon), Aleksandr Menkov (long jump) and Anzhelika Sidorova (pole vault) plus names from 2016 such as Darya Klishina (long jump) [20][lower-alpha 1]
Quarantine
An outbreak of norovirus occurred at a local hotel affecting 30 athletes and officials.[22]
