World Athletics Championships 2022 Day 1 schedule: Events, timings, livestream links and more

The eighteenth edition of the World Athletics Championships is all set to commence on July 15, 2022. The first edition of the tournament was held in 1983 in Helsinki and had events like javelin throw, 100-meter-dash and more. Similar to the Olympics, the competition was held every four years until 1991, after which it attained its biennial status.

For the first time ever, the World Athletics Championships will be held in the United States of America at the Hayward Field Stadium in Eugene, Oregon. It has been eight years since the World Junior Championships was held in the same facility.
