World Para-athletics Championships 2019 could be back in London

London could host the World Para-athletics Championships again in 2019 after UK Athletics confirmed it is to start talks about a repeat bid.
The 2017 event finished on Sunday, and numerous athletes have called for the event to stay at London Stadium.
"We will begin discussions with partner organisations immediately to see if we can secure the necessary support," said UK Athletics chairman Richard Bowker.
He added that he believed "that there is the will to make it happen".
There is a September deadline to submit bids to host the next Worlds to the International Paralympic Committee.
More than 230,000 people attended this year's championships - more than in all eight of the previous championships combined.
Ed Warner, co-chair of London 2017, recently said he would "love it back here in two years' time".
British Paralympic Association chairman Nick Webborn said: "The BPA looks forward to both supporting and engaging with UK Athletics throughout this process.
"If we were to succeed, it would be a tremendous statement to the world and a huge opportunity for our athletes and the British public once again to enjoy world class Para-athletics in the best stadium in the world for it."

better than the Olympic rings painted on a wall near Darlington railway station and West Ham getting a cut-priced stadium anyway
I believe many of the competitors would be happy with that decision.
Matt Jackson - I don't use Twitter, Facebook etc....does that make me a troll?
And so far I haven't seen any "disgusting" posts on this thread, though I agree there are far too many on other HYS
As for Channel 4's Coverage of these Events, I think it is becoming brilliant along with it's alliance with The Last Leg!, But i cannot warm to Ade Adepitan!.
Yes other countries and cities should be able to showcase it, but let's get it right in the middle of the public eye first. London does that, nobody else does.
I will write this on all my HYS:
Dear BBC, please link these comments to real social media profiles. The amount of trolling here is due to anonymity. The comments are disgusting from so so many.
In balance here's my Twitter account - @cad4mac
Think someone else should get it to try and shift attention to another country. If it doesn't work have London do it again.
