Wow, you celebrate the achievement of 2 athletes and undercut that with your shot at Coe. Coe was/is an outstanding athlete who stands alongside anyone on the planet for his own achievement, and really understands what those athletes have had to do.
He shares a lot more with them than e.g. you do.
Your objection to Coe is based on his politics - however I think I could win my money back by betting you that both the athletes in question are well to the right of Coe. So actually not worthy of your admiration either.
In fact its clear that whatever one thinks of Coe, he has pulled off the games despite the backdrop of low faith - much as he did in his athletics. The guy is an actual winner.
I don't like him much because he always seems so pleased with himself but if I has as much to be pleased with as him I would be a lot worse.
