Usain Bolt coach Glenn Mills watched today’s World Cup in athletics at the ankle.
He wants to re-championship so drastically that the controversial first eight SOK Standards are fading away.
The World Cup should be the best ever. Trials and Qualifications are only for those who do not qualify. They can have their own championship, says the Jamaican coach.
In the Jamaica Observer, Glenn Mills roars and calls the IAAF’s World Amateur Athletics Federation and today’s approach to the World Cup a stillborn.
He thinks athletics has never tapped into this huge interest Usain Bolt Drawn to sports.
Just look at what Tiger Woods did for golf or Michael Jordan for basketball. They were used to make their sports grow. Athletics did not use Bolt’s success in the same way. They live semi-amateur and it is time for the sport to become fully professional, Mills tells the paper.
He wants to lead the World Cup, get the championship every year, and make the competition the equivalent of athletics at Wimbledon, the Super Bowl or the masters of golf.
You want to re-plan
In athletics, the Olympics is still the biggest thing to win, unlike most major sports.
Therefore, he wants to make the World Cup more exclusive and exclude those who are much inferior.
He believes that this is the only way to go and the sport must be able to survive and grow.
Therefore, he wants to revolutionize the World Cup and make it a real great event with real money prizes for the best. She has a tournament every year.
– As it is today, there are a very large number of participants. The World Cup has to be the best ever and after that you have to cut back on trials and qualifiers.
This year’s World Cup will be decided in Eugene, Oregon, USA from July 15-24.
