There’s no question about that,” the 54-year-old London 2012 organising committee chairman told Reuters in an interview. “I am standing (again) for the (IAAF) vice-presidency (at the world championships) in Daegu and I am very clear that track and field is the reason I will stay in sport.

BUDAPEST (HUN): Last week it was the 183rd week in his career that Jamaican sprint sensation Asafa Powell leads the All-Athletics.com Men’s 100m World Ranking. Powell had been used to this position, but not lately. Thanks to his excellent recent performances Powell took the leading position in the latest rankings. Both other new event leaders last week are shot putters. It is the first time ever that Dylan Armstrong can call himself a world ranking leader. The Canadian thrower now shares the top spot in the men’s Shot Put with Christian Cantwell of the USA. Valerie Adams of New Zealand had already led the women’s world shot put ranking for 119 weeks before, but it took exactly one year for her to regain the lead again from Nadezhda Ostapchuk of Belarus.
