The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) website (www.iaaf.org) recorded a huge increase in use from the recently concluded IAAF World Junior Championships, Oregon 2014 over the previous edition of the same Championships two years ago in Barcelona.

The new version of the [link id=”175″ tax=”post_tag” text=”IAAF”] website was launched at the start of November 2012 and the figures from Eugene show that it continues to be a resounding success.
