Coe gets 2012 champions' backing in IOC president race

Before the vote in Greece tomorrow Mo Farah, who won 5,000m and 10,000m gold in London, and Usain Bolt, who took the 100m, 200m and 4 x 100m relay titles, praised Lord Coe's leadership and backed him for the job.

They have been joined by the Paralympians Tanni Grey-Thompson and Ade Adepitan, who commentated on Channel 4 in 2012, who said Coe's vision for the Paralympics had been transformational and praised his consensual and game-changing approach.

The race is widely considered to be close with Coe, the Spaniard Juan Antonio Samaranch and the Zimbabwean Kirsty Coventry seen as the big three among the seven candidates vying to succeed Thomas Bach.
