KYIV (UKR): The International Association of Athletics Federations at its Council meeting in Kiev on Saturday revealed it has prepared and submitted a questionnaire concerning the Review of the 2018 Winter Olympic Programme. As requested by the International Olympic Committee, the IAAF has included cross country running for inclusion in the programme. Leading cross country athletes including five-time World Cross Country champion Paul Tergat and the legendary Haile Gebrselassie are amongst athletes supporting the proposal. The IOC Programme Commission will study the document in August 2010 and come back to IAAF, if necessary, for further clarifications before submitting it to the IOC Executive Board for a decision. Writes David Martin.
