International athletics competition
The 2024 World Athletics U20 Championships , also known colloquially by its former official title, the World Junior Championships , is an international athletics competition for athletes qualifying as juniors (born no earlier than 1 January 2005). The event is being staged in Lima , Peru from 27 to 31 August 2024. On 5 April 2023 it was announced that the city had initially withdrawn as a host of the 2024 World Athletics U20 Championships due to "recent political instability, social unrest and natural disasters".[ 1] [ 2] However on 14 August 2023, Lima was reinstated as host city for the event as all the issues were stabilised.[ 3]
