Britain hoping to host 2029 athletics world championship

Britain is in the running to host the 2029 world athletics championships, UK Athletics chief executive Jack Buckner said on Monday.

London staged the event in 2017, while Glasgow hosted the world indoor championships last weekend, AFP reports.
"We'd love to have another crack at 2029 and a world championships," Buckner told the BBC.

"We just do a great job. Everyone talks about the atmosphere at every event we've done.

"We first of all have to do a feasibility study and look at what the various options are."

London is expected to be the preferred venue.

West Ham's 60,000 capacity London Stadium hosted the 2017 event and the 2012 Olympics.

"We can't definitely say it'll be London, but it would be in our mind given the success of it before," Buckner added.

"I think London (2017) was transformational and it built off 2012. It was transformational in all sorts of ways."

The world championships will be in Tokyo next year, while Beijing will play host in 2027.
