As a middle-distance runner, Coe won four Olympic medals, including the 1500 metres gold medal at the Olympic Games in 1980 and 1984. He set eight outdoor and three indoor world records in middle-distance track events – including, in 1979, setting three world records in the space of 41 days – and the world record he set in the 800 metres in 1981 remained unbroken until 1997. Coe's rivalries with fellow Britons Steve Ovett and Steve Cram dominated middle-distance racing for much of the 1980s. Following Coe's retirement from athletics, he was a member of parliament for the Conservative Party from 1992 to 1997 for Falmouth in Cornwall, and became a Life Peer on 16 May 2000. He headed the successful London bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympics and became chairman of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games. In 2007, he was elected a vice-president of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), and re-elected for another four-year term in 2011. In August 2015 he was elected president of the IAAF.〔(Sebastian Coe elected as president of world governing body for athletics | Sport | The Guardian )〕 In 2012, Coe was appointed Pro-Chancellor at Loughborough University where he had been an undergraduate, and is also a member of the University's governing body. In November 2012 he was appointed chairman of the British Olympic Association. In 2012 he was of one of 24 athletes inducted as inaugural members of the IAAF Hall of Fame.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.iaaf.org/Mini/HOF/Members/Members.aspx )〕 Coe was presented with the Lifetime Achievement award at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year in December 2012. ==Early life and education== Coe was born at Queen Charlotte's Hospital, Hammersmith, London. His mother, Tina Angela Lal, died in London, in 2005, aged 75. She was of half Indian descent, born to a Punjabi father, Sardari Lal Malhotra, and an English/Irish mother, Vera (née Swan). His father, Peter Coe, died on 9 August 2008, aged 88, while Coe was visiting Beijing. Coe moved to Warwickshire when he was less than a year old where he attended Bridgetown Primary School and Hugh Clopton Secondary School in Stratford-upon-Avon. The family then moved to Sheffield where he attended Tapton Secondary Modern School, Crosspool which became a Comprehensive School when he was there〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=My Best Teacher - Sebastian Coe )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://postcodegazette.com/news/9002024837/london-2012-chairman-lord-coe-visits-his-old-school-AT-sheffield-tapton-secondary-school/ )〕 and Abbeydale Grange school. He joined athletics team Hallamshire Harriers at the age of 12, and soon became a middle-distance specialist, having been inspired by David Tomlinson, a geography teacher at Tapton School who had been a cross-country runner and eventually its school captain when he was a pupil at King Edward VII School Sheffield. Coe was coached by his father and represented Loughborough University and later Haringey when not competing for his country. Coe studied Economics and Social History at Loughborough University and won his first major race in 1977—an 800 metres event at the European indoor championships in San Sebastián, Spain. It was at Loughborough University that he met athletics coach George Gandy who had developed "revolutionary" conditioning exercises to improve Coe's running.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=George Gandy's Tips on Running )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sebastian Coe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
