The WorldChampionships in Athletics is an event organized by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).
The idea of having an AthleticsWorldChampionships was around well before the competitions first event in 1983.
Prior to the inaugral IAAF WorldChampionships in Helsinki in 1983 there had been several single events and races in the years leading up to them which were considered WorldChampionships in those events.
The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) is the international governing body for the sport of athletics (known in the US as "track and field").
It was founded in 1912 at its first Congress in Stockholm, Sweden by representatives from 17 national athletics federations as the International Amateur Athletics Federation.
However, the IAAF retained the word "amateur" in its name until its 2001 Congress at which the IAAF's title was changed to its current form.
