London to host 2017 IPC Championships

Dec 19 2012

London has been named as the host city for the 2017 IPC Athletics World Championships, the Mayor of London Boris Johnson has announced.

The Championships, organised by the International Paralympic Committee, will be held at the Olympic Stadium in July, one month before the same venue stages the IAAF World Athletics Championships.

"By bringing the IPC Championships to our wonderful Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park just a month before the World Championships, the capital is poised to recreate the magic of London 2012," Johnson said.
