Sebastian Coe will give a speech to the IOC Congress in a session on Olympism and Youth (Getty Images)(ATR) Sebastian Coe, chair of the London 2012 organizing committee, leads a LOCOG delegation to Denmark to take part in the IOC Session and Olympic Congress.
The two-time Olympic 1,500 meters gold medalist will give a speech to the IOC Congress when it discusses Olympism and Youth this weekend.
Coe is also joining LOCOG chief executive Paul Deighton to provide a progress report on the London Olympics to IOC members, together with the British Olympic Association chairman Colin Moynihan and his chief executive Andy Hunt.
Clive Woodward, the director of elite performance at the BOA, has been invited by IOC President Jacques Rogge to speak at the IOC Session about the possibility of setting up an Olympic Coaching Commission.
Woodward, 53, the coach who led England to win the Rugby World Cup in 2003, studied sports science at Loughborough University where he was a contemporary of Coe.
Woodward had a nine-year career coaching the England rugby team, when he acquired a reputation for an acute attention to detail, developing a large coaching staff that handled every aspect of the team’s preparation, akin to the staffing of NFL teams.
For the past three years, Woodward has worked at the BOA. He was Team GB’s deputy chef de mission in Beijing last year, since when he has been working on a detailed review of preparation and performance ahead of London 2012.
