The World Athletics Championships in Budapest are just one month away, with 250,000 tickets already sold. This highly anticipated event, set to begin on August 19, is expected to be the biggest sporting event not only in Hungary but in all of Central Europe.
Balázs Németh, the CEO of Budapest 2023 Nonprofit Zrt., the organizing company, expressed his excitement at a press conference. He emphasized that the organizing team is determined to ensure that everything runs smoothly for the remaining month leading up to the championships. Németh also highlighted the significance of the event, with over 2,000 athletes from more than 200 countries, hundreds of thousands of fans, and an estimated one billion TV viewers.
Németh also mentioned that the World Athletics Championships is the third largest outdoor event worldwide, making it the most significant event of the year since there are no Summer Olympics or Football World Cup in 2023.
The opening night of the championships promises to be spectacular, with star guests and surprise gifts for spectators. The grand opening ceremony, described as the biggest party of the summer, will commence at 03:45 pm. However, Németh did not reveal which performers would be entertaining the audience during the evening.
Ticket sales have recently seen a surge, with groups from countries such as India, Japan, and Chile registering on Wednesday morning. Over 250,000 tickets have already been sold, but a limited number are still available for all nine days of the event.
To cater to the global audience, a television base is being established next to the National Athletics Center for broadcasting the championships. Numerous TV companies are expected to bring in additional trucks in the coming weeks to support the broadcasting operations.
The World Athletics Championships will kick off on August 19 with three finals at the National Athletics Center. Bence Halász, the World bronze medalist in the hammer throw, will participate on this day. Furthermore, the 4×400 meters mixed relay, where men and women compete together, is scheduled for the opening evening. The fastest men in the world will also showcase their skills in the preliminary heats of the men’s 100m flat race.
The organizers anticipate that this event will witness the breaking of national, European, and world records. They believe that it will be one of the most thrilling athletics world championships in history.
In conclusion, the World Athletics Championships in Budapest are set to begin in one month and are expected to be a monumental sporting event. With star performers, surprise gifts for spectators, and the participation of athletes from around the globe, this championship is set to make history and captivate audiences worldwide.
