Europe destined to host 2022 WMA world outdoor championships?
Here’s a rough translation of the FB post:
L’Aquila’s application to host the XXIII world championships in athletics in 2022 was confirmed by the Federation Federation / IAAF Federation. L’Aquila will see it with Tampere (Finland) and Gothenburg (Sweden) today a great step forward and win by the President-in-office of the Promoter (Loc) Gianni Lolli who ensures that L’Aquila is part of the pole position for the final allocation and is certainly the commitment of the municipal junta and the regional junta which strongly support the cadidatura. Counting all over town to support her.

I would vote for Gothenburg. More fair.
Italy will organize two major masters competitions in 2019 – EMG and EMACS (it also organized EMACI 2016). Finland organized WMACS 2009 and WMACI 2012.
Sweden (Gothenburg) hosted WMACS 1977. Toronto hosted WMACS 1975. So, the sequence can be the same – 45 years later.
Of course, voting in Malaga will be based on many other factors (including political ones). And, without official information, nobody can be sure that the a/m cities are the (only) candidates.

I vote for l’Aquila, but only because I would not attend the other two 😉

This is an extremely brave move on the part of L’Acquila, given that it’s at the heart of an area that has been devastated by two major earhquakes since 2009.

Finland, Sweden, Italy – in that order or any order – all great places to visit. I have not been to a WMA meet in Sweden – so maybe I should say Sweden as my first choice – but the real issue is the condition of the stadiums, the distance between them, and all the rest of the issues that need to be addressed for a successful WMA outdoor meet. My preference does not matter as I do not have a vote.

Proper and accessible warm up facilities are essential!
