See top-tier athletes from around the world compete with World Athletics Championships tickets. The World Athletics Championships take place every other year and were originally one of the main attractions of the Olympics. The event broke off from the Olympics however, when the Games were restructured in 1976. That year saw many key track-and-field events removed from the Olympic schedule, and the International Association of Athletics Federation began the World Athletics Championships in response. The Championships retain most events dropped by the Olympic Committee, in particular the popular men’s 50K race. They take place one month after the Olympic Games.

The first championship-level event was held in 1983, and for its early history, the competition took place every four years. The unexpected popularity of the World Athletics Championships saw them change to a two-year cycle in 1991. At its start, the Championships included only a few categories of sport: the 50K walk, 400m hurdle and 3K race. Throughout the late ’90s and early 2000s however, several new events were added. The Championships began putting the spotlight on-field events as well, bringing in the triple jump, pole vault and hammer throw. World Athletics Championship tickets get you a seat in the stands to see this booming track-and-field competition yourself. The Championships have grown exponentially since their inaugural year, with nearly 2,000 athletes and over 200 countries now represented at the competition.
