I thought you said this could never happen after Stephanie Hightower replaced Bob Hersh as the US' IAAF rep?
That doesn't happen until August. Bob was at the IAAF Council Meeting, Stephanie was not. She has not even been elected to the Council.
I think the Council members wanting to throw a bone to outgoing President Diack and outgoing Senior VP Bob Hersh was a factor. I don't know why else they would do this NOW instead of waiting for another bid cycle.
