President’s Message

I

t gives me great pleasure to write this greeting for the first Bulletin of the IAAF World Championships, Beijing 2015. The timing of its publication could not be more opportune as 22 August 2014 marks exactly one year to go to the start of the championships. In recent months our Coordination Commission and Technical Delegates have made site visits to Beijing to assist and access the planning process. While most recently a progress report was delivered by the Local Organising Committee to the IAAF Council which was meeting in Eugene, USA, ahead of the IAAF World Junior Championships. On that occasion, Chinese Athletics Federation vice president Chunde Shen reported preparations for the "one year to go" celebrations which will take place in the centre of the Chinese capital on 22 August. The official poster and mascot of the championships will be revealed and a large countdown clock will be unveiled next to the National Stadium, better known as the "Bird’s Nest." The IAAF World Championships, Beijing 2015 which take place from 22 to 30 August 2015, will be primarily hosted in this stadium, which was the venue for the 2008 Olympic Games and is the setting for the annual IAAF World Challenge meeting. The IAAF World Championships will be the biggest sporting event on the planet in 2015. 2000 athletes from over 200 nations will assemble in Beijing in a year’s time for nine days of competition which will be broadcast to an accumulated audience of 6 billion worldwide. The magnitude of the task to organise championships of this size is of course enormous, but with a year to go I am confident that the IAAF and the Local Organising Committee, together with our Official IAAF Partners and suppliers and National partners, will be able to deliver a spectacular edition of the championships. Lamine Diack IAAF President

’est avec un immense plaisir que je rédige ce message d’accueil pour le premier bulletin des Championnats du monde de l’IAAF, Beijing 2015. Le moment de sa publication ne pouvait être plus opportun car les Championnats commenceront précisemment le 22 août 2015, soit dans un peu plus d’un an. Ces derniers mois, notre commission de coordination et nos délégués techniques ont effectué des visites du site à Beijing pour aider au processus de planification. Un rapport d’étape a par ailleurs été remis récemment par le Comité d’organisation local au Conseil de l’IAAF qui se réunissait à Eugene, aux États-Unis, avant les Championnats du monde juniors de l’IAAF. À cette occasion, le vice-président de la Fédération chinoise d’athlétisme Shen Chunde a rapporté la préparation des festivités marquant le compte à rebours d’un an avant le lancement des Championnats Beijing 2015 qui aura lieu dans le centre de la capitale chinoise, le 22 août. L’affiche officielle et la mascotte des championnats seront dévoilées et un compte à rebours sera exposé à côté du Stade National, mieux connu sous l’appellation « Nid d’oiseau ». Les Championnats du monde de l’IAAF, Beijing 2015 se tiendront du 22 au 30 août de l’année prochaine. Ils seront essentiellement organisés dans ce stade ayant porté les Jeux olympiques de 2008, également lieu d’accueil de la réunion annuelle de l’IAAF World Challenge. Les Championnats du monde d’athlétisme de l’IAAF seront le plus grand événement sportif de la planète en 2015. 2 000 athlètes issus de plus de 200 pays se réuniront dans un an à Beijing pour neuf jours de compétition qui seront diffusés auprès de six milliards de personnes dans le monde au total. L’organisation de championnats de cette taille est bien sûr une tâche de grande ampleur, mais je suis persuadé que l’IAAF et le Comité d’organisation local, avec l’aide précieuse des partenaires et fournisseurs officiels IAAF et des partenaires nationaux, seront en mesure de proposer une édition spectaculaire.

History of Athletics in China

L'Athlétisme en Chine

Although Chinese involvement in athletics started relatively late, significant progress has been made. In May 1890, Shanghai held its first athletic competition, marking the start of modern sports competition in China. Afterwards, athletics pursuits became popular and developed rapidly in China. In 1978, the Chinese Athletic Association (CAA) became a member of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), and it has vigorously participated in the management of the IAAF at all levels. The CAA has made great efforts to serve the cooperation between China and the IAAF, and the promotion of athletics in Asia and the world. The IAAF has nine regional development centres around the world, one of which is located in Beijing. The IAAF World Championships will be held in Beijing in 2015, and it will significantly promote athletics in China, Asia and the world. During the development of Chinese athletics, some Chinese competitors have gained international success and fame. In 1957, Zheng Fengrong set the women’s high jump world record with a leap of 1.77 metres in a Beijing athletics event, opening up a new chapter for the Chinese to make major achievements in athletics worldwide. In

Bien que l’athlétisme soit apparu un peu plus tard en Chine, il a connu un développement rapide. En mai 1890, l’université St John de Shanghai organisa la première session des épreuves sportives portant sur l’athlétisme, marquant ainsi le lancement des jeux sportifs modernes en Chine. Depuis lors, l’athlétisme s’est développé rapidement en Chine. En 1978, la Fédération chinoise d’Athlétisme s’est jointe à l'Association internationale des fédérations d'athlétisme (IAAF), et a participé positivement à la gestion des activités sportives. Elle a hautement contribué à la coopération entre la Chine et les organisations internationales d’athlétisme de tous les niveaux, ainsi qu’à la promotion de l’évolution de l’athlétisme mondial et asiatique. L’un des neuf centres de développement régionaux créés par l’IAAF dans le monde fut installé à Beijing. En 2015, les 15e Championnats du monde d'athlétisme de l’IAAF auront lieu à Beijing, ce qui va grandement promouvoir l'athlétisme en Chine, en Asie et dans le monde. Au cours du processus de développement de l’athlétisme chinois se sont distingués des athlètes dignes de la fierté des Chinois. En 1957, l’athlète chinoise Zheng Fengrong a battu le record mondial féminin du saut en hauteur avec 1,77 mètre, une première pour la Chine dans l’histoire de l’athlétisme. Lors des 1ers Championnats du monde d’athlétisme en 1983, Zhu Jianhua a remporté la médaille de bronze du saut en hauteur ; et lors des 3e Championnats du Monde en 1991, Huang Zhihong et Xu Demei ont remporté respectivement le titre de

1983, Zhu Jianhua took the bronze medal in the men’s high jump at the First IAAF World Championships. In 1991, Huang Zhihong and Xu Demei won the women’s shot put and the women’s javelin respectively at the Third IAAF World Championships. Liu Xiang won the men’s 110-metre hurdles with a time of 12.19 seconds at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games, becoming the first Asian contestant to win a gold medal in a sprint event at the Olympic Games. Chinese athletics has thrived for more than 100 years thanks to the keen interest and enthusiastic participation characteristic of the Chinese youth. Currently, a physical education programme is a mandatory part of education for more than 400 million young Chinese. In Beijing, numerous young people vigorously participate in athletics activities. The IAAF World Championships will be held in 2015 in Beijing and it will be a good opportunity for them to watch this major sporting event and support their favourite stars. It will encourage them to appreciate and participate in sports, and to ultimately contribute to world athletics.

championne du poids féminin et du javelot féminin. Il s’agit des premiers grands succès des joueurs asiatiques dans ces évènements sportifs. En 2004, les Jeux olympiques se sont déroulés à Athènes, et Liu Xiang a décroché la médaille d’or du 110 mètres haies hommes en 12,91 secondes, créant le record chinois et asiatique de cette épreuve. Le développement de l’athlétisme depuis une centaine d’années en Chine est fondé sur la passion et la participation des jeunes. Actuellement, plus de 400 millions de jeunes Chinois font de l’athlétisme dans le cadre de leurs cours de sport obligatoire. À Beijing, les activités sportives des adolescents sont visibles. La tenue des 15e Championnats dans cette ville permettra à ces derniers d’assister à un événement sportif de niveau mondial et d’admirer les performances des grands sportifs à deux pas de chez eux. Cela encouragera les jeunes à aimer le sport et à participer aux activités sportives, et contribuera activement au progrès de l’athlétisme mondial.

National Stadium (‘Bird’s Nest’)

Stade National-Nid d’oiseau

The National Stadium (the “Bird’s Nest”) was the core venue for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The IAAF World Championships will be held there in 2015. The National Stadium is an eco-friendly stadium featuring a steel structure with the world’s largest span and a transparent roof. The 258,000-square-metre stadium was built in 2003 and it officially opened in 2008. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, a number of top athletes, such as Usain Bolt and Yelena Isinbayeva forged moments never to be forgotten. The National Stadium lives in the hearts of millions as the location for the people of the world to witness groundbreaking achievements. The Organising Committee of the IAAF World Championships Beijing 2015 will conduct renovations

Le Stade National (Nid d’oiseau) a servi de stade principal lors des Jeux olympique de Beijing 2008 et accueillera les 15e Championnats du Monde d’Athlétisme 2015.

for the stadium to meet the needs of the event. After the renovations, it will accommodate 80,000 fixed seats in three levels. Three LED display screens will be installed for the event. In early 2015, the surface layer of the Tartan Track will be renovated to satisfy the the IAAF Competition Category I requirement. Located in the north of the stadium, is the warm-up field for athletes. There are two passageways to link the stadium and the warm-up field, and the distance is about 80 metres. The warm-up field has 8 running lanes, which can meet the needs of all the athletes to warm up for the games. It is separated from the public areas and is fully equipped with all relevant facilities. The stadium is situated in the south of the Olympic Green. Located in the vicinity are the National Aquatics Center (the “Water Cube”), the Olympic Green and the National Indoor Stadium. Convenient public transport is available in the area. There are more than 40 bus routes and 5 bus stops in the area, as well as a Line 8 subway station attached to subway line 8. The area’s underground parking lot can accommodate more than 2,000 vehicles. After the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the National Stadium was mainly used to hold international high-end events and cultural performances, while also serving as one of Beijing’s famous tourist attractions.

Pour satisfaire la demande pour les Championnats du Monde d’Athlétisme, le Comité d’organisation de la partie chinoise a transformé le Stade National : 8 000 sièges fixes se répartissent dans trois tribunes, et trois écrans d'affichage électronique LED ont été installés. Début 2015, la piste plastique sera repavée conformément aux critères techniques de l’IAAF. À 80 mètres du nord du Stade National se trouve le lieu d’échauffement, relié directement au stade principal par deux voies. On y compte huit pistes, et tous les sites et installations peuvent répondre aux besoins des exercices d’échauffement. Ce lieu est isolé du monde extérieur. Le Stade National se situe dans le sud du complexe olympique. À l’ouest se trouve le Centre National de Natation (le Cube d’Eau), tandis que le Parc olympique est situé au nord. Enfin, on trouve le Palais National omnisports au nord-ouest. On compte aux environs cinq stations de bus, et plus de 40 lignes de bus passent dans la zone. Le site est également desservi directement par le métro N°8. Le parking souterrain peut accueillir plus de 2 000 véhicules. Après les JO de Beijing 2008, le Stade National s’est chargé principalement d’accueillir des événements sportifs internationaux, des spectacles et des activités de masse, il est aussi devenu une célèbre attraction touristique.
