💨 Abstract

Sebastian Coe, World Athletics chief and IOC presidential candidate, stated that the decision to offer prize money to Olympic champions should not be applied to all sports. Coe clarified that the move was specific to track and field, aimed at retaining athletes from being recruited by other sports. If elected, he would not enforce this model on other sports, encouraging discussions to create commercial partners for athletes instead.
