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.
