Hugh Robertson, Olympics Minister, has announced that the 1million target of increasing participation in sport as a result of the Olympics will not be reached and was an over-ambitious target at the out-set.

How many people are expected to take up athletics as a result of the hosting of the 2017 World Athletics championships: a) In London? b) Across the UK? How will this participation be encouraged?
