From Sebastian Coe

Quite simply the Games are the biggest opportunity sport in this country has ever had. It is one that we must not squander.

From Sebastian Coe

The London Games will be designed for the athletes and we will provide them with the very best venues and the very best conditions to pursue their sporting dreams in London.

From Sebastian Coe

It is really important that we promote competitive support in schools. It is very important that we recognise that has to be underpinned by good quality physical education and by getting people into patterns of exercise.

From Sebastian Coe

Everybody recognises that giving young people competitive outlet through sport is a very good thing.

From Sebastian Coe

From Sebastian Coe
