Overview
The 2022 World Athletics Championships was the eighteenth edition of the World Athletics Championships. It was held at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, United States, from July 15–24, 2022. The competition was originally scheduled for August 6–15, 2021, but it was postponed by one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Host selection and venue
The selection of the host city was announced on April 16, 2015 in Beijing, China. Eugene was selected without a traditional bidding process, though Eugene did put in a bid for the 2019 World Championships, losing out to Doha.

Entry standards
World Athletics announced that athletes would qualify by their World Athletics Rankings position, wild card (reigning world champion or 2021 Diamond League winner) or by achieving the entry standard.
To qualify as a Wild Card you had to be one of the following things:
• Reigning World Outdoor Champion
Participating nations
1,972 athletes from 192 member federations were scheduled to compete at the championships, but owing to vaccination requirements and visa issues the final total was reduced to 179 nations (plus the Athlete Refugee Team) and more than 1,700 athletes, the lowest number since 1991 for the former and 2005 for the latter.
Prize money
There was a world record programme where if a world record was broken the athlete who broke it would get $100,000.
A total amount of $8,498,000 was also offered by World Athletics to finalists at Oregon 2022, of which $2 million has been ringfenced from the fines paid by the Russian Athletics Federation (for doping rules offenses).
Media coverage
The event was streamed live in some territories on the World Athletics YouTube and Facebook channels.
The event was the most watched World Athletics Championships in US television history, reaching an excess of 13.7 million viewers.
