From August 19-27, 2023, Budapest will host the world's third largest sporting event, the World Athletics Championships. It is the largest sporting event in the history of Hungary, attended by athletes from more than 200 countries, whose news will reach more than one billion people.
Athletics is the foundation of all sports. It represents strength, speed, dexterity and endurance, the spirit of competition and camaraderie. We do not even notice how much we are surrounded by athletics; it is included in everything.
Athletics is a living thing. Whether it’s a family programme, a weekend grassroots meeting or a professional competition, athletics awakens every sense, on a physical, mental and emotional level. There is likely no other activity that can produce such a sense of well-being as sport, either seen on the screen or watching live.
You cannot bluff in athletics. There are no frills, no tricks, just the beauty of the sport and the competition. Just faster, higher and further.
The undisguised goal of Hungary's biggest sporting event so far is to make athletics one of the most popular sports, in addition to presenting the superheroes of the sport.
Budapest has been an experienced host of many major international sporting events and has held a number of major international athletics championships in the last 30 years, with the exception of the World Athletics Championships.
From August 19-27, 2023, the centre of international athletics will once again be in Europe, in Budapest, where fans from all over the world will see that the queen of sports has never shone more beautifully.
