Sebastian Coe Says Athletics Must Remain Olympic Sport’s Number One

Sebastian Coe leads World Athletics, the group that manages international athletics.

He says athletics should remain the most important sport at the Olympic Games.

Coe feels hopeful because he believes the sport is stronger than when he took charge.

He will leave his leadership role in 2027.

Before then, he wants to improve competitions, schedules, sponsorships, and broadcasting.

A new event called the Ultimate Championship will be held in Budapest.

It will bring together many of the world’s best athletes and offer large prizes.

Coe also said China has the support and organization needed for next year’s World Athletics Championships.
