(ATR) IAAF is putting its history on display. IAAF Heritage, a branch of the federation tasked with bringing the story of sport to the public, is currently showcasing the "World / Continental Cup - 1977 to 2018" exhibition in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
The exhibition comes ahead of the IAAF Continental Cup in September and will run through the duration of the event. Items from the Ancient Olympic Games to the present are included in the project, including artifacts from the Continental Cup, which began in 1977.
IAAF council member Sylvia Barlag was in Ostrava representing Sebastian Coe this week. Barlag is a physicist and has been a council member for IAAF since 2011. She also competed in the modern pentathlon at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. She speaks with Around the Rings Editor Ed Hula about the Russian doping saga.
"There has never been a doubt that IAAF wants them back, but IAAF wants them back in a proper shape and without any of these things that happened in the past," Barlag said.
Barlag speaks about other topics throughout the interview, ranging from IAAF’s fight against air pollution to the lack of diversity within federation leadership.
