Scottish Parliament: Tokyo Olympic Games (Team GB Success) (8 Sep 2021)
Brian Whittle: ...Josh Kerr’s bronze medal in the 1500m, with a time that ranks him second in the UK all-time list. We should ponder that for a second—that is quicker than those track legends Steve Ovett, Sebastian Coe and Steve Cram. Only Mo Farah has run quicker. It is just astounding, and I should say that Josh was coached in the United States by an old friend of mine, Mark Rowland, himself a bronze...
Scottish Parliament: Changing Lives Through Sport and Physical Activity (25 Apr 2019)
Brian Whittle: ...on the STEP programme. I do not know how many decision makers in this place—or in any other place for that matter—fully grasped that concept.

Essentially, me and Sebastian Coe are the joint mayors of the Olympic village.” I just knew that she was glorying in that amazing six weeks of tremendous sport. A friend of mine sent me a text to say that she had...
Oral Answers to Questions — Scotland: Leaving the EU: Devolution of Powers (24 Jan 2018)
Drew Hendry: The Secretary of State has failed to answer for his broken promise to this House and to his Tory colleagues in Scotland on clause 11. That means Karren Brady, Sebastian Coe, Joan Bakewell and 26 Church of England bishops now have more say over Scotland’s future than Scotland’s elected MPs. Will the Secretary of State finally apologise for that sad state of affairs?
Scottish Parliament: #Scotlandhour (7 Mar 2013)
Christina McKelvie: ..., and I am a committed mountain climber myself although I do not get as much opportunity these days. However, our mountains inspire us and I do not think that anyone has driven through Glen Coe without the hairs on the back of their neck standing up.

Scottish Parliament: 2012 Olympic Games Legacy (23 Jun 2011)

Scottish Parliament: Scottish Olympic Team (6 Oct 2005)
Jamie McGrigor: The Conservatives appreciate very much the enormous effort of Sebastian Coe and his team to secure the Olympic games for the United Kingdom, unlike the SNP, which said that the bid was a waste of money.

Sport (8 May 2002)
Lord Monro of Langholm: ...tremendous success in ice skating with John Curry, Robin Cousins and Torvill and Dean, but it is now on a plateau. What middle distance runners do we have now? I refer to former competitors such as Sebastian Coe, Steve Ovett, Steve Cram and David Moorcroft. Example is not always crucially important but somehow or other we must bring our athletics back into the limelight. Much more money is...
Athletics (18 Dec 2001)
Baroness Billingham: ...may express my absolute delight at the running order in tonight's list of speakers. I am surely going to be one of the very few people in the world who will be able to say, "I finished ahead of Seb Coe!". I look forward enormously to his contribution.
