Explanation

Sebastian Coe, double Olympic gold medalist (1980 Moscow), served as Chairman of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG) for the 2012 London Olympics. His athletic credentials and political experience made him ideal for this role. Daley Thompson (decathlon gold), Steve Ovett (middle-distance), Robin Cousins (figure skating), and Eric Heiden (speed skating) are all Olympic champions but did not hold this position.
