World Athletics Championships 2022: A look at the dates and daily schedule for each event

The World Athletics Championships is a biennial multi-nation competition for track and field events that also includes marathon running and race walking. The tournament is organized by World Athletics (formerly IAAF) and features renowned athletes from all over the world who take part in a variety of events.

The competition kickstarted back in 1976 in Malmo, Sweden. It featured a solitary event - the men's 50 km race walk that was dropped from the 1976 Montreal Olympics by the International Olympic Committee.

The first edition of the tournament eventually took place in 1983 in Helsinki and featured multiple events like long jump, javelin throw and the 100 meter-dash. The tournament thereafter continued to be held every four years until 1991 when the committee opted for a two-year cycle.
