Sebastian Coe
Sebastian Coe (1956 - present) (now a Baron and therefore referred to as Lord Coe) won the 1500 m gold medal at the Olympic Games in 1980 and 1984, and set eight outdoor and three indoor world records at a time when Britain dominated the middle distance events with three athletes, Sebastian, Steve Cram and Steve Ovett.
When he retired from athletics he became a Member of Parliament and then a life peer. He headed up the London bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympics and, after the International Olympic Committee announced London as the winning bid, became the chairman of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games.
Fun fact: Seb ran his first "official" race at 12, and, when his father saw how much potential he had, he became his coach.
"Quite simply the Games are the biggest opportunity in sport this country has ever had. It is one that we must not squander.”
