The sport looks forward to the 1986 European 5000m champion applying his gritty racing style to the sizeable task of getting the governing body back on track as its CEO
Wow, UK Athletics have chosen the person who is obviously the best man for the job, rather than somebody who ticks all the right PC boxes. Very encouraging.
The world has really improved, 3000m to Marathon over the past 35 years since 1987 W.C. No way would a 13:10.xx 5000m man earn a W.C. medal at 5000m today. All those who competed, 100m to 1500m at W.C., 1987 would still have an opportunity medal at their events today.
He's tasked with a Sisyphean project. It's a decade-long project, at minimum, to right the ship that is UKA. Much easier to do with swimming. He's going to need a lot of help from capable allies.

Why "much easier" with swimming? I don't follow it closely but at global level swimming in last 20 years has seen medallists and finalists from growing number of countries. I get it that swimming isn't as disparate as run/jump/throw though.
