ATHLETES' VILLAGE  |
 BUBKA IN A VERY OFFICIAL VISIT TO THE VILLAGE
Paris 2003 Saint-Denis
Sergey Bubka was at the Athletes Village on Friday to promote the
fortchoming election for the IAAF Athletes Commission. When the athletes go
to the polls.
For the first time since its creation, the IAAF is organising an election to allow athletes to join the IAAF Athletes’ Commission. The latter will be made up of 19 members including twelve athletes voted in by their peers and seven members appointed by the council. The people behind the project are Alberto Juantorena (CUB), IAAF Athletes Commission co-chairman and 1976 Olympic 400 m and 800 m Champion in Montreal ; six time world pole vault champion, 1988 Olympic Champion in Seoul, 35 times world record holder and co-president Sergey Bubka (UKR) ; and Nawal El Moutawakel (MAR), scrutineer and 1984 Olympic 400 m hurdles Champion in Los Angeles, in charge of the vote along with Mr Robert Huw and MRS Jane Butler.
During these World Championships in Athletics and more precisely on 25, 29 and 30 August, all accredited athletes are invited to vote by secret ballot for the representative of their choice. A ballot box will be set up for that. For a voting slip to be valid it must comprise 12 names, no more, no less. The 12 elected athletes will be those who receive the highest number of votes ; in case of a tie, preference will be given to the youngest candidate. The list of winning candidates will be posted up before the end of the Championships.
