Lyon, France hosted the 2013 IPC Athletics World Championships between
19-28 July.
More than 1,100 athletes from 98 countries attended the event which was
the first major gathering of international track and field stars
following the hugely successful London 2012 Paralympic Games. The
majority of medal winners from London competed in Lyon as they started
their preparations for the next Paralympic Games in Rio in 2016. The
International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is the global governing body
of the Paralympic Movement, and also acts as the International
Federation for nine sports, including athletics. The sport is governed
by the IPC and co-ordinated by the IPC Athletics Sports Technical
Committee, offering a wide range of competitions and events for male
and female athletes in all impairment groups. For further information,
