London misses out to Nairobi in World Athletics bid
London has missed out to Nairobi in Kenya in the bid to host the 2029 World Athletics Championships.

The stadium was also used for the 2012 Olympic Games and the yearly London Diamond League, and also when the city last hosted the Worlds in 2017.
Rome was the other city to miss out, as World Athletics also confirmed that Munich would host the 2031 event.
