2022 Paralympics

World Para Athletics Championships in Kobe, Japan postponed

Event organisers World Para Athletics say discussions were held after a request by the Kobe Local Organising Committee (LOC).

In a statement, World Para Athletics said the decision was made due to "foreseeable restrictions".

The competition was scheduled to run from 26 August-4 September.

"Both World Para Athletics and the LOC have reached an understanding that the competition will not take place in 2022," said World Para Athletics.
