World Athletics Championships 2022: where are they held, calendar, program and finals
After the worldwide pandemic delayed proceedings by more than a year, the World Athletics Championships will make their first appearance on US soil.


For the first time ever, the World Athletics Championships are being held in the United States, with Eugene, Oregon hosting the 2022 event.
The World Athletics Organization describes the event as an “unmissable global experience” and will host the very best of global track and field athletes competing at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon.
Team USA are currently ranked number one in the world and are expected to bring lots of silverware to their joyous fans. Events will take place across ten days, from July 15 to July 24, in individual and team competitions in events such as javelin, hammer, discus, high jump, shot put, and much more.
