Seb Coe raises the possibility of including cross country events in the Olympic games

Seb Coe recently launched his bid to become the next president of the IAAF...the international world body for athletics. As such, his opinion carries a lot of clout.

In a recent interview, he expressed a view that on how important cross country was and that it should be part of the future Olympic programme.

“One of the things that has really, I suppose, worried me in the last few years is that I don’t think enough younger coaches realise how important cross country is. I would love to see cross country back in the Olympic programme and maybe even something, thinking out of the box for a moment, why not include it in the Winter Olympic programme?”
