World Athletics won't 'strange innovation' after Sawe's sub-two hour marathon
World Athletics president Sebastian Coe says the organisation will not stifle innovation following debate around 'super shoes' after Kenyan Sebastian Sawe became the first person to run a competitive marathon in under two hours at the London Marathon. Coe emphasised the balance between enabling innovation and regulatory responsibility, while acknowledging the role of athlete mentality, coaching and training programmes.
