2005 world championships in athletics

The 10th IAAF World Championships in Athletics (August 6, 2005 – August 14, 2005) will once again be held in the Olympic Stadium, Helsinki, Finland the site of the first IAAF World Championships back in 1983. The games were originally set to be staged in London, England but wrangling within the government saw them unable to agree to build the required stadium and they therefore forfeited their chance of being hosts. Helsinki was considered by many to be the outsider in the race to host the games with rival bids being presented by Berlin in Germany; Brussels in Belgium, Budapest in Hungary, Moscow in Russia and Rome in Italy.
