The World Athletics Championships will be held in the United Kingdom for the first time after London was selected ahead of Doha to host the 2017 event.
The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) chose England's capital at a Monaco meeting.
London, which failed with bids to host the 2001 and 2015 Worlds, will use the 2012 Olympic Stadium.
Bid leader Sebastian Coe said: "This bid has been developed by athletes and athletics, for athletes and athletics."

What I want to know is how we can afford this as well as make all the cuts to services in the current financial climate. Yes it is great for the country but isnt this like me and you buy a 60inch plasma tv while still trying to pay our credit cards back?
