“In less than five months’ time the biggest sporting event in the world in 2017 will be underway and we’re incredibly excited by the opportunity to demonstrate the unique characteristics of both the World Para Athletics Championships and the IAAF World Championships by creating different digital hubs," said Niels de Vos, championship director for both London 2017 events.

“We now have two different platforms to engage and communicate to our friends, family, fans and followers what makes each Championship special.

"We are proud to be hosting the World Para Athletics Championships and IAAF World Championships this summer and we want the values of both to reach as many people as possible.”

The IAAF World Championships are set to take place between August 4 and 13 at the London Stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

The World Para Athletics Championships, organised by the International Paralympic Committee, are due to be held between July 15 and 23.

“We are extremely excited with the launch of dedicated digital platforms for the IAAF World Championships London 2017," added Olivier Gers, chief executive of the IAAF.

"The new generic ‘IAAF World Championships’ URL and social media handles will help take the hundreds of thousands of ticket buying spectators and the millions of fans globally, on an exciting journey with athletics through this summer’s Championships to the next editions in Doha 2019, Eugene 2021 and beyond.”
