The most important event of this year’s athletics season is here, the World Championships. The grand event will take place in the capital city of Hungary, Budapest, which has a historical tradition of hosting major athletics competitions. In the past, Budapest hosted the European Championships in 1966 and 1998. The championships were held at the Ferenc Puskas Stadium, but this year’s World Championships will be held at the brand new athletic stadium, Nemzeti Atlétikai Központ. The state-of-the-art arena, which opened in June, has a capacity of 36,000 spectators.
The competition in Hungary will take place from August 19th to 27th. The program includes 48 disciplines, ranging from endurance to speed events, with no shortage of hurdles and racewalking competitions. Of course, fans can also look forward to javelin, hammer throw, shot put, and jumping events. In addition to these, there will be heptathletes and decathletes showcasing their skills and versatility.
As for the Czech team, they have something to make up for, as last year in Eugene, USA, they only managed to secure one medal. Jakub Vadlejch won a bronze medal in the javelin throw on the penultimate day of the championships. The Czech athletes will be aiming to improve their performance and bring home more medals this time around.
The World Championships in Athletics are a highly anticipated event for sports enthusiasts around the world.
