Spiffy site promotes 2016 worlds.

It’s still 22 months away, but the Western Australian Tourism Commission has posted information on 2016 WMA outdoor worlds in Perth. The domain name was registered July 19, 2011 — less than a week after Perth was chosen at the 2011 General Assembly meeting at Sacramento worlds. The event (WMA’s first outdoor worlds in an even-numbered year) will be held Oct. 26 through Nov. 6. (At 2001 Brisbane worlds, the meet dates were July 4-14. Go figure. Lyon worlds will be in August 2015.) Venues are listed here, including the West Australian Athletics Stadium, resurfaced by Mondo, and promised to be “in top condition for the Championships with the work carried out in January 2014.”

    Yeah Brisbane was in July-but it was cold there at that time.

    Indoor worlds will resume in 2017. Back-to-back outdoor worlds (2015 and 2016) came about to avoid conflicting with World Masters Games, held in odd-numbered years. http://masterstrack.com/2011/07/19283/
