At a Greek resort surrounded by 131 infinity pools, six waterslides and a golf course designed by Bernhard Langer, Sebastian Coe is taking aim at a fourth Olympic triumph – but his path to victory is narrow
One question, more than any other, swirled around the exclusive Costa Navarino resort on Wednesday evening. Could Sebastian Coe really pull it out of the fire again? At the Moscow and Los Angeles Olympics he bounced back from defeat in the 800m to take 1500m gold. Then, against the odds in Singapore in 2005, he brought the 2012 Games to London ahead of Paris and Madrid.
And now, in the final hours before Thursday’s vote for the next International Olympic Committee president, he was busy pressing flesh and securing promises in the hope of a fourth Olympic win.
