As World Athletics President, he has faced new challenges and controversies with characteristic zeal, intelligence and diplomacy unpinned by his unwavering love of sport. Seb was made a Life Peer, becoming Lord Coe of Ranmore, and has since been appointed a KBE. He received a BBC Sports Personality Lifetime Achievement Award and was named Greatest Briton in the Morgan Stanley Awards. He also secured the 2017 World Athletics Championships for London.
