Coe feels ‘momentum’ in IOC presidential race

Vote on next IOC president to take place on Thursday.

Sebastian Coe will discover on Thursday whether his plans to reform the International Olympic Committee have convinced its members to vote him in as the organisation’s next president.

Sebastian Coe feels he has momentum as the race to become the next president of the International Olympic Committee reaches its final hours. 

Most experts believe the seven-strong contest to be the next leader of global sport is on a knife-edge, with Coe one of the “big three” alongside the Spaniard Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr, who is the favourite, and Kirsty Coventry, whowould be the first female president of the IOC.
