Coe discusses adding track meet in China; opposes diplomatic boycotts

This old politician has lost any shred of credibility he ever had during the lead up to Tokyo 2021 when he arrogantly dismissed every concern the locals had. Likewise, he couldnt give a damn about the Genocide being committed on millions of Muslim Uighyurs in China. Its all about the $$$.

It is clear Coe is in the pocket of China. Go away and retire you nobody.

Boycott the Genocide Games.

It’s like negotiating with North Korea.

Sebastian Coe. No credibility. A member of a corrupt and aged aristocracy far removed from reality.

This has nothing to do with athletics and sports. It’s all about money.

Agree with all the above.

We don't care about what you have to say.

Coe away

Sad to see a man who was once a world class distance runner devolve into an amoral money grubbing stooge.

SC...what a despicable human being, no shame at all

Money, Money, Money, Money.

how they ignored Germany’s treatment to religious group they ignore China s treatment of muslims.

May we should boycott the sponsors.

Sports should have nothing to do with politics they say.

but they sure think sports should chase money and ignore what dictators, politicians, et al do

Like it or not, the Chinese games are unstoppable..

Enjoy it..

“I believe all athletes should be free to voice their concerns and sports should never flinch from making those points. But it is still better to have open dialogue and sporting relationships than pulling up the drawbridge.

They always say that, but in the end what have they achieved?

Let's finally have them start listing some achievements

Sad to see a man who was once a world class distance runner devolve into an amoral money grubbing stooge.

The only reason this sad little man won gold decades ago is because he competed in 2 consecutive Olympics where half the top nations boycotted.

Coe is world class alright - a world class grub.

Track and Field has been growing as a sport especially with the new shoe tech allowing records to fall. Shoes have never been better especially at the consumer level. The common retail shoe is most likely better than a 80's running shoe (except Asics). Even some trail boots you can run in now.

Politics and track and field has never worked. If China has a growing running and racing culture it will continue to grow. -Maybe with less pollution it is growing.

Accurate statement, this is a sports event not a political arena. How childish can these politicians be ???.
