World Athletics on Thursday unveiled the competition timetable for the 2027 World Athletics Championships in Beijing, confirming the dates of the men’s and women’s 100-meter finals and the world championships debut of the mixed 4×100-meter relay.
The men’s 100-meter final will take place on September 11, the second day of the championships, with the women’s final scheduled for September 12.
The championships will mark Beijing’s second time hosting the event.Beijing previously staged it in 2015.
The 10-day championships, featuring 50 medal events, will be held from September 10 to 19 at Beijing’s National Stadium, also known as the Bird’s Nest.
The timetable has been designed to accommodate athletes competing in multiple events, including the 100 and 200 meters, 5,000 and 10,000 meters, and long jump and triple jump, ensuring they will not have to contest more than one individual event in the same session.
“The publication of the timetable is a major milestone as excitement continues to build with less than one year to go,” said World Athletics President Sebastian Coe.
“We have landed on a compelling timetable that will provide great storytelling opportunities and a rich viewer experience to both fans in the stadium and those watching at home,” he added. (Xinhua/PD/GSF)
