The IAAF World Championships is a ten day track & field event that took place in Daegu this year. This event happens every two years and takes place the year before and after the Olympics. It was crazy that I happened to be in Daegu, as it's rare to even get the chance to attend this kind of international athletic event. I was very excited to see some the best athletes in the world in person!
Everyone scrambling to get into the stadium.
The opening ceremony looks even better after the sunset.

All of the decathlon athletes posing for the media. Team USA, Trey Hardee and Ashton Eaton earned the gold and silver medal. Korea's representative, Kun-Woo Kim, set a national record in this event, to the delight of the crowd.
Our entire school went to the IAAF games during the week. It was awesome to see most of the stadium packed with students and teachers from other schools.
