British athlete and sports administrator Sebastian Coe has promised an “uncompromising and clearcut policy” to protect women’s sports in his bid to become the next president of the International Olympic Committee.
The Brit promised not to be a “vanilla” president if he won the election and vowed to make the IOC more democratic.the BBC that “the protection of the female category … is absolutely non-negotiable” and added that “if you’re not prepared to do that … then you really will lose female sport.” “It has to be a clearcut policy, and International Federations must have some flexibility,” Coe explained. “But it is incumbent on the IOC to create that landscape. It’s a very clear proposition to me – if you do not protect category, or you are in any way ambivalent about it for whatever reason, then it will not end well for women’s sport. I come from a sport where that is absolutely sacrosanct.”
Another policy Coe hopes to be able to implement is to institute cash prizes for athletes across the board. This year, World Athletics introduced a $50,000 prize for gold medallists in Paris, and Coe wants to expand that idea.
