Published: 9/22/2025

World Athletics president Sebastian Coe suggests re-engineering the global sports calendar due to climate change challenges discussed during the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, where temperatures soared above 30C. Coe mentions the need to potentially host events like marathons separately in safer conditions. The Championships recently concluded in Tokyo's National Stadium, with plans for the inaugural Ultimate Championships in Budapest next year to address these concerns.
