Bubka hopes for World Champs in Africa MARRAKECH (MAR): IAAF Vice President and IOC Executive board member legendary Sergey Bubka took part at the Confederation of African Athletics’ 25th Congress. The participants of the Congress who represented 53 African nations provided very fruitful and comprehensive discussion on the sports’ development strategy and promotion of the athletics for young generation. New options for cooperation between national federations, coaches and athletes were discussed, as well as plans to include athletics lessons into the educational programs. Speaking to media Bubka said: I would like thank my colleagues from CAA and IAAF for the discussion which brought us much closer to understanding the future of our sport. It is obvious for me that Africa has great potential in athletics. IAAF would make everything possible to help the continent to find balance between the advanced and developing nations in terms of development of sport. Africa must and will grow bringing new great global champions and promoting athletics both through the continent and globally. I believe Africa will host IAAF World Championship very soon.
