After years of athletics excellence, the International Association of Athletics Federations is embarking on its second century with drive and determination. Athletics, a sport that was founded in antiquity, has continued to adapt through the centuries offering a dynamic, life enhancing sport which is ready for the exciting challenges of the next years. During the ten decades that followed Athletics underwent many changes which reflected the political and socio-economic evolution of the wider world. The IAAF was founded to fulfil the need for a world governing authority, for a competition programme, for standardised technical equipment and for a list of official World records. All of these requirements remain today. Yet in an ever faster changing world, international sport federations such as the IAAF need to be pro-active when trying to reach new audiences and find new hosts for their events. This means, of course, the thriving world of road running, which is where the majority of people actually connect directly with the world of Athletics, but it is also athletics in schools, where the IAAF is very keen to ensure that we reach the maximum number of kids, all over the world, starting at the age of 7 but also including youngsters in their teens, where the drop off from sport is most acute. We are also adapting our competition programmes to reflect the increasing diversity of attractions from which the public can now choose. Attracting, and most importantly retaining, the young as both participant and spectator are essential if Athletics is to retain its appeal. The biennial IAAF World Championships is the jewel of our IAAF World Athletics Series of events which also includes indoor, junior, youth, cross country, race walking and road running during a four year cycle of World Championships and or Cup events for each of these types of competition. Athletics is the main spectator stadium sport of the Games, central to the success of each summer celebration. All three cities are major world capitals.

However, the organization retained the word amateur in its name until its congress, at which it changed its name to i.a.a.f International Association of Athletics Federations, i.a.a.f.
