London will be hosting the 16th edition of IAAF World Championships from August 4 at the Olympic Stadium.

Big names from across the globe will be arriving in at the capital city to compete in the 10-day track-and-field event.

The focus will be on Usain Bolt as the decorated Olympian is all set to hang his boots after running the 100m and 4x100m relay races in the upcoming meet.

Distance-running legend and local hope Mo Farah could also use the London meet as his swansong. Having won five world Championships Golds so far, the 34-year-old will be eyeing a double - 5000m, 10,000m.

Kenya, which topped the 2015 medal tally with 7 Golds, 6 Silvers and 3 Bronze, will face quite a lot of competition from the likes of Jamaica and United States.

Great Britain, which finished fourth last edition, will be boosted by home advantage.

On the other hand, India has sent a 25-member unit. Junior world record holder in Javelin Throw, Neeraj Chopra, and 100m specialist Dutee Chand are the Asian minnows' best bet.
