This is the first time the World Athletics Championships will be hosted in the United States and TDK has a long tradition, sponsoring the WCH since the inaugural event in Helsinki in 1983. WCH is a biennial athletics competition known for world record times and event world rankings that significantly impact Olympic qualification. Approximately 2,000 top athletes from more than 200 countries will compete in 38 individual events (19 men and 19 women), 6 road events (3 men and 3 women) including the new on the programme 35km RW, 5 relays including the mixed 4x400m relay.

In addition, LED boards powered by a TDK-Lambda power supply product will be at the 100m start line and around the stadium.
TDK’s main sponsoring activities include:
- The TDK-Lambda AC-DC converter will be used as the power-supply device for the LED board at the race start line for 100-meter dash.
