Sebastian Newbold Coe, Baron Coe, KBE (born 29 September 1956, and often nicknamed Seb Coe) is a former British athlete. He started his athletics career as a middle distance runner, Coe won the 1500 m gold medal at the Olympic Games in 1980 and 1984, and set eight outdoor and three indoor world records. He was the first man to break the 1 minute 43 seconds, and 1 minute 42 seconds barriers in the 800 m event. He is widely considered to be amongst the greatest middle distance (800 m/1500 m) runners of all time. Following his retirement from athletics, he served as a Conservative Member of Parliament from 1992-97, and became a life peer in 2000. He was the head of 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 (the organisation in charge of overseeing the development of the Games). On 22 August 2007, Lord Coe was elected a vice-president of the International Association of Athletics Federations.
