Make the Olympics great again!
Sebastian Coe, a former gold medalist in the global sporting event, revealed his manifesto for what he would do if he lands the role of International Olympics Committee (IOC) president. Coe continues to campaign for the gig as we head into 2025.
In the manifesto, Coe makes it a strong point that female athletes need to be protected, doing so here in 2024 where outrage has hit a boiling point over trans athletes competing against women.
Coe is a strong opponent against the inclusion of trans athletes in female sports, which is the complete opposite view of current Olympics chief Thomas Bach. Speaking with Sky News in an interview Thursday, Coe said that he would look into a 100% ban on transgenders.

Currently, Coe leads World Athletics, which is the governing body of track and field across the world. World Athletics made the move in 2023 to tighten their regulations on transgender athletes, slapping a ban on trans women who have gone through the process of male puberty. The new rule from the organization also brought down the maximum testosterone level for eligibility.
In his Sky News interview, Coe said that if he gets elected as IOC president, a new policy will be installed into the Olympics that will “probably” look identical to the restrictions of World Athletics.
Coe said he would “have a very clear policy that will be unambiguous.”
“We’ve been very clear in World Athletics that transgender athletes will not be competing in the female category at elite level,” he continued.

This needs to happen … The Olympics would change in such dramatic fashion (in a good way) under Sebastian Coe.
