Seb Coe made it clear. Events come back when it is healthy to have them.
Seb Coe says competition only when it is safe
LONDON (GBR): WA President Sebastian Coe said for AP that immediate concern is finding a way for this year’s track season to get underway, with Diamond League meets postponed. “The ambition is to get the athletes back into competition as soon as we possibly can but only when it is safe to do so,” Coe said. “If it’s not safe, you can’t put them at risk. You shouldn’t actually be putting those communities that you want to be enjoying the sport at risk as well. So at the moment it’s really trying to create some structures that with best endeavors we’re able to fulfill, but I don’t think any of us really know what the next few months is really going to look like. The one advantage we have actually is at this stage being an individual sport. We can organize things where you don’t actually need 22 people on a pitch.”
