Long-standing world athletics chief Lamine Diack may run again for the athletics top job if he still feels fit enough in 2011, the 76-year-old Senegalese said Friday.
"It is possible if I am in good shape," Diack told reporters. "Many people are asking me to do that. I will go if I have prepared some people to take over."
Diack, who took charge of the governing body of athletics (IAAF) in 1999 following the death of his predecessor Primo Nebiolo, had hinted in the past he would not run again after his current term ends, to make place for a younger generation of athletics officials.
Former Olympic pole-vault champion Sergei Bubka, the IAAF senior vice president, and Olympic 1,500 metres gold medalist Sebastian Coe, an IAAF vice president, have been tipped as potential successors.
