Sir Stanley Matthews.

And as we may have already heard, World Athletics President Sebastian Coe hopes that holding the 2029 World Championships in Nairobi, Kenya will create a legacy for Africa.

The Kenyan capital became the first city on the continent to stage the event, having been awarded hosting rights last month ahead of London and Rome.

After the East African nation failed with a bid for the 2025 edition, Cole reiterated it was the right time for World Athletics.

One other area Kenya can improve on is its record on doping.

Since 2017, over 140 of its athletes, predominantly distance runners, have been suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit, the independent body which co-helped set up when he was first elected World Athletics President in the same year.

But that aside, Sebastian Coe, who is in his third and final term as World Athletics President, says he is confident that Kenya is beginning to turn the corner.

And on that note, we come to the end of today's edition of our Sports Roundup.

Grok is a very capable model.

out of space xxai um gemini still very much in the race so um you asked me at the beginning feels like a while ago now apologies for that if we had a favorite i think what we're excited about is the race um and for older viewers listeners i mean i've likened this to a race for quite a while obviously it's a race in terms of winning the frontier battle but it's also um You know, it reminds me, I likened it to the golden era of middle distance runners, where you had Steve Ovette and Sebastian Coe, Sir Sebastian Coe.

And they were breaking records all the time in middle distance running.

And you could have had a favourite.

At the beginning of the year, our biggest risk to the AI investment story was that the pace of models slowed.

Because if they slow a lot or decelerate meaningfully, then the returns to the frontier will change.

Because those in the pack, let's go back to the race, you know, again, Ciro, Vett and Sebastian Coe.

But now all of the rest of the people that you've never heard of are catching up.

And at one point, they went one to ten.

I was thinking, well, do I hedge now or not? And then Sebastian Coe and Boris Johnson, whenever they started getting their act together in London, started entering the race a bit more and it started getting tighter and tighter.

I was thinking, okay, it's one to four.

Do I lay off now? No.

yeah i mean so my dream as a child from the age of eight years old i wanted to be an olympic athlete and i own that down in terms of i grew up in that sebastian co steve over steve cram golden middle uk middle distance which they're actually going through the same thing now really good middle distance both men and women but at that point that was i said oh I started running when I was eight years old for a local club.

And I just wanted to be the next Seb Coe.

He was my hero.

And I got close to it.
