Coe enters IAAF fray
TWO-TIME Olympic middle-distance champion Sebastian Coe yesterday declared his candidacy for the top job of the International Association of Athletics Federations, setting up a likely election battle next year against pole vault great Sergei Bubka.
The 58-year-old Coe headed the organizing committee of the 2012 London Games and has been an IAAF vice president since 2007. He is expected to face competition from Bubka, also an IAAF vice president who has not yet formally announced his candidacy to succeed Lamine Diack, who has been president since 1999. The deadline for submission of candidacies is three months before the election, to be held on August 18 at the IAAF congress in Beijing on the eve of the world championships.
