BEIJING will bid for the 2015 athletics world championships, pitting the host of the 2008 Olympic Games with other contenders including Tokyo and Rio de Janeiro.
The city's sports authority contacted IAAF officials in Berlin last month, and the world athletics governing body will soon come to check facilities, probably in October, Beijing sports bureau chief Sun Kanglin told the Beijing Youth Daily. Sun said the opportunity to host the track and field event would not only move Beijing towards its goal of becoming an international sports centre but would also reflect China's rising stature as a global sporting and economic power. The biennial event has never come to China but other Asian cities have played host to it, including the 2007 world championships in Osaka, Japan. The 2011 event will be in Daegu, South Korea and the 2013 worlds in Moscow.
