Who is Sebastian Coe?

Sebastian Newbold Coe, Baron Coe, KBE (born 29 September 1956, and often nicknamed Seb Coe) is a British former top-level athlete and former Conservative Party politician. In his athletics career as a middle distance runner, Coe won the 1500 m gold medal at the Olympic Games in 1980 and 1984, and set eight outdoor and three indoor world records. Following his retirement from athletics, he served as a Conservative Member of Parliament from 1992-97, and became a life peer in 2000. He was the head of the London bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympics and, after the International Olympic Committee announced London as the winning bid, became the chairman of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (the organisation in charge of overseeing the development of the Games). On 22 August 2007, Lord Coe was elected a vice-president of the International Association of Athletics Federations.



Coe won four Olympic medals and set eight outdoor and three indoor world records in middle distance track events (and also participated in a world record relay). His rivalries with fellow Britons Steve Ovett and Steve Cram dominated middle-distance racing for much of the 1980s.
