The 8th edition of the World Para-Athletics Championship is all set to begin on July 14 at the Olympic Stadium in London. The 66,000 capacity Olympic Stadium was once West Ham United’s home ground, but it has been transformed from a football venue to a stage for world-class athletics since the Premier League season ended. It will be the largest stadium to host the Championships since Berlin’s Olympiastadion in 1994. 1300 athletes are expected to compete, representing a total of 100 countries. This in an increase of 79 athletes and 10 countries from the participants at the Championships in Doha two years ago. There will be 230 medal events which will split across 49 classifications. This is the first time that it will be held in the same city and summer as the International Association of Athletics Federations equivalent, making this a historic moment for the Paralympic movement.
