For both Canon and Getty Images, it’s important that fans across the world share in the passion and excitement of sporting events through compelling and powerful imagery. In line with this vision, Canon will provide behind-the-scenes support at the Canon Professional Service centre on-site to the Getty Images team and other accredited professional sports photographers covering the event. Services include technical support and advice, repair and maintenance services, as well as loans of the latest Canon EOS system camera and lens equipment to ensure that photographers are able to continue shooting.

Getty Images photographers have covered every moment of every IAAF World Championship since their inaugural competition in 1983 in Helsinki. The company also supports the IAAF Photography Assistance Program, which documents competitors from developing nations that are unable to send a media delegation to the championships.
