“USATF congratulates Sebastian Coe on his election as IAAF President. Both Lord Coe and Sergey Bubka were talented and qualified candidates who sought to position track & field for a strong future. USATF has had the opportunity to work especially closely with Lord Coe over the last three years, and we have been impressed with his vision for the sport, his dedication to its cause and his demonstrated effectiveness as a leader. His progressive view for how to market the sport and attract sponsors globally has the potential to truly transform athletics under his leadership. We very much look forward to working with President Coe, the IAAF and our fellow federations to collectively elevate the success of our sport worldwide.”
