Eugene's bid proposes an unprecedented focus on athletes and plans for celebrating the sport that will make it a great fan experience,

This was the best, most professional, most meticulous bid process we've ever had.

In talking to our athletes and our coaches, they think it will act as a deterrent.

Hayward Field is hallowed ground in our sport and Eugene's vision for what they can do to connect track's past, present and future won the day.

It is sad when any athlete makes the tragic decision to cheat because it robs other athletes of their deserved recognition and hurts our sport.

That package is very impressive. No one advised them. They put it together. They thought about what the sport needed and what contribution they could make.
