“In a Way, the Horse Bolted the Stable Many, Many Years Ago”: Seb Coe Speaks to LetsRun.com About Shoes, World Records, & 2021 Diamond League Changes December 10, 2020 Seb Coe is proud of how the sport of track & field has managed its most trying year. Seven months ago, with the Olympics postponed and the summer track and fall marathon seasons on life support, the World Athletics president wasn’t sure there was going to be anything to celebrate at the organization’s annual award ceremony. That did not turn out to be an issue. There was not only a track season, but a terrific World Athletics Half Marathon Championships in Poland in October and a sprinkling of major road races this fall. That is an achievement to be lauded, with credit due to the athletes and organizers for making these events happen.
