Five of the eight 100m hurdles world championship medals won by Team USA athletes are due to the brilliance of two-time Olympic 100m gold medalist, Gail Devers, who won her first of two world championship silver medals in Tokyo in 1991.
Six months prior to the championships, Devers was bed-ridden and facing the possibility of having both feet amputated after being stricken with Graves Disease, a condition that caused her to miss competing in 1989 and 1990.
At the 1991 World Championships, Devers, who was mired in third place in the final in Tokyo, put on a furious charge in the final stages of the race to surpass Russia's Natalya Grigoryeva to capture one of the unlikeliest silver medals in track and field history.

The World Indoor Championships in Athletics (WICA) was the most significant athletics event to be staged in the UK since the 1948 Olympic Games, and was a huge triumph for the City of Birmingham and The NEC Group which hosted the event.

The Athletics World Championship is a biennial track and field competition of the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF).
I think if Rio, Johannesburg or Sydney were to bid they would be strong bids as the championships have not been held in the southern hemisphere so the IAAF would be keen for a new frontier just like Edmonton 2001 was the first time the event was held in North America.
A World Championship in the United States would be great and do wonders for the sport here, but as someone said earlier, there are no stadia capable of hosting and no one willing to build one for something not an Olympic Games.
