World Athletics sets 40% rule for female membership on national boards
National track and field federation executive boards must be at least 40% female by 2029, World Athletics has said. The sport's global governing body published further details of its three-year gender leadership strategy on Tuesday, having achieved gender parity on its ruling council in 2023. World Athletics also wants at least 40% of Level 1-qualified coaches to be women by 2029, with an interim goal of reaching 35% by 2027. It has also targeted at least 40% of team coaches being female at the 2030 Under-20 Championships, and for an equal gender balance among international technical officials (ITOs) at the 2027 World Championships in Beijing and the track and field programme at the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2028. World Athletics president Lord Sebastian Coe said: 'I am incredibly proud of the progress we've made to date to increase female representation in athletics – highlighted by our 50/50 gender balanced council. 'This strategy reflects our continued commitment toward ensuring women are not only present but prominent in leadership and decision-making roles across our sport. 'We know challenges remain in getting more female coaches, referees and administrators into athletics but we are committed to equality and opportunity to drive lasting change across the athletics community worldwide.' Last month World Athletics approved the introduction of a cheek swab test to determine if an athlete is biologically female, with Coe insisting it was part of a 'dogged' determination to protect the female category. The PA news agency understands World Athletics' intention is to introduce the testing in time for this year's World Championships in Tokyo.

Athletics prize money model insufficient: Coe
World Athletics' decision to start offering prize money to Olympic champions should not be seen as a template for all other sports, the body's chief Sebastian Coe, who runs for president of the International Olympic Committee, said on Friday. Coe, a former Olympic champion who also led the 2012 London Olympics, is one of seven candidates campaigning to replace outgoing IOC chief Thomas Bach, with the vote set for March 20 at the body's session in Greece. World Athletics announced its prize money for gold medallists decision unilaterally ahead of last year's Paris Games without consultation with the IOC, of which Coe is a member, or other international sports federations. The decision angered the IOC and some federations at the time which opposed such a move, saying not all athletes were benefiting from it. World Athletics has said it will offer prize money to all medallists in the sport at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. "Prize money was implemented by the sport in response to a very specific issue in track and field," Coe said in a conference call with news agencies, adding track and field athletes were being recruited by other sports. "We gave them (an) incentive to remain in the sport." The Briton, however, said should he win the election next week he would not enforce such a model for other sports. "Nobody in the Olympic landscape should conclude that because I had a mandate in World Athletics... that this is a one-size-fits-all. That I suddenly walk straight into the (IOC) office in Lausanne next week and tell everybody they are taking prize money," he said. "Absolutely not. I would encourage the discussion about what more can we do to create true and genuine commercial partners out of our athletes." "Nobody should run away with the idea of a one-size-fits-all. It is a collaborative discussion," Coe added. Coe is up against multiple Olympic swimming champion Kirsty Coventry, who is Zimbabwe's sports minister, as well as Spaniard Juan Antonio Samaranch, son of the late former IOC president.
