Coe confirmed that if elected IAAF President he will establish
a World Athletics Calendar Reform and Sports Presentation group to
produce recommendations that would be considered by an IAAF Special
Congress in the first quarter of 2016.
Speaking from the Diamond League meeting in Doha, Qatar, Seb Coe,
said: “I believe that the creation of a truly harmonised calendar is key
to the global promotion of Athletics and also Member Federation
development.
“Listening to the Federations and our broadcasters, sponsors and
athletes, it’s clear that we need new competitive structures for the
future.
“We must look at how the format and presentation of competitions like
the Diamond League fit within the overall calendar and how we can help
boost the quality of these competitions to make each meeting and the
overall season more compelling. “
