Stuart’s thoughts about the commitment to bring the 2029 world champions to London
The 2017 World Athletics Championship in London was qualified as one of the best. After Moscow 2013 and Beijing 2015, with a disappointing assistance, it was great to see the London Stadium (Olympic 2012) at full capacity in each session. And who will forget the hero the hedgehog, Aurely the best pet? The London Diamond League has always had the greatest assistance worldwide at any one -day athletic stadium event. Track and field events are exhausted in the United Kingdom. The contrast between Eugene that struggles to run out, with its 18,000 capacity for the events of the 2022 world champions, while Birmingham attracted more than 25,000 to the morning sessions of the Commonwealth Games later that summer, it was Stark.
Athletic companies – The joint business between the athletics of the United Kingdom (UKA), Great Run Company and London Marathon Events – brings together the athletic organism of the United Kingdom, in addition to the organizers of two great success: the London marathon, which is carried out successfully for 45 years, and the great Run North Run, in addition to its regional cousins.

The previous World Athletics Championships in London in 2017 were, with much, the most successful in the history of sport, with a stadium with exhausted tickets for each session. The 2012 Olympic athletics too. Next year, Birmingham will organize the European Championship and Glasgow of the Commonwealth Games. Great Britain has a large track record (and field!) For accommodation events. The powers would be angry for not accepting the invitation to return to London.
Looking later – Altoth I’m not sure to see it – What – What 540 Olympic Games? This week, the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has expressed interest in launching an offer for the 2040 Olympic Games as part of a broader vision of the English capital as the main center of the sport of the world.
This week, a report published by the mayor’s office highlights the financial and tourist benefits of the main sporting events held in London last year. Khan said: “I love sports and I see the benefit of seeing them. But I thought we would order a report to solve the economic impact that sport has.” Khan emphasized that his long -term goal has the leg to solidify the state of London as the global epicenter of sport.
