Feasibility study predicted that the championship will create an economic and social impact of more than 400 million pounds sterling
More than 100 athletes from the most famous British athletes wrote to the Prime Minister, urging the British government to return to the World Athletics Championships in 2029.
In the open letter published today, the Olympic champions and the global medalists speak the stars in one vote, calling the government to support the application of the championships in the London Stadium. They have won more than 750 medals in the international championship, more than 300 of whom are gold.
Very legends of sports among the signatories, including Sir Mo Farah, Hody Hodgkinson, Dame Kelly Holmes, Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, Dina Asharina Johnson-Thompson – Daina Adform. Unite and deliver a durable national heritage.
The intervention of the athletes further increases the 2029 London campaign, which is headed by sports enterprises, a joint venture between the British Athletics, London’s marathon and a large practical company. The competition offers world class championships at London Stadium, which requires a one-time state funding injection in 2028 (£ 45 million).
“This is the moment of giving something extraordinary this moment,” said Hugh Baran, the director of the events of the London Marathon and the co-founder of sports enterprises. “London 2029 is not a risk. It’s about the return of investments for the UK. Generations of athletes know the inspiring force of the home championship. It can achieve more than this country.
“With the support of the government in 2028, we will present the world’s largest championships. Commercial stable, community efficiency and global resonance.
But the athletes warn that the opportunity to support the government can pass the opportunity. Their open letter reminds ministers that home events create one-time moments for athletes and fans for athletes and fans and leave the legacies that “live for years.”
“This reverses in reliability and reliability,” said Jack Budges and co-founder of sports enterprises. “We know what home support can be achieved, and when our greatest athletes are united by one message, their call should not ignore the nation, and it shows Britain. We are ready. Now we need the government to stand with us. “
The 2029 application process will begin to start this summer, the organizers urge ministers to commit to the British championships in the coming weeks.
