Sebastian Coe said track and field will continue to experiment with innovation as the sport attempts to win back fans following recent scandal.Speaking as the curtain was set to come down on the World Indoor Championships, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) president said changes introduced in Portland could feature at next years World Outdoor Championships in London.In the shot put, long jump and triple jump the field was whittled down to the top four athletes for the final attempts in each event, with the changes made in order to ensure that the entire focus of the crowd was on the finale of each event as it took place. Great Britains Robbie Grabarz competes in the high jump final at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Portland While the innovations appeared to be well-received by spectators, they were not universally embraced by athletes, with New Zealand shot put star Valerie Adams complaining on Saturday about delays in her event. However, Coe said the spirit of change represented the future.Its really important that when we have the opportunity to road test innovation we take it, Coe said.Not everything were going to do is going to work. But Id rather be in a sport where we sometimes have to say Okay, that didnt work quite as planned rather than sitting there sclerotically for the next 10 years. IAAF president Sebastian Coe You arent going to see growth and development of the sport like that if you dont innovate.Some of the things that weve road-tested here youll see in other formats. And youll see evidence of that in London 2017 and beyond.Coe meanwhile insisted that the absence of Russia in Portland - banned from competition after last years World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) report which uncovered a systemic doping regime in Russian athletics - had not tarnished the meeting. Burundis Francin Niyonsaba (R) and Great Britains Lynsey Sharp compete in the 800m at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Portland He said: Its a sad moment for our sport ... but it hasnt stopped this from being a fantastic athletic experience for spectators and athletes alike.Coe said the attendances at the Oregon Convention Center - which have been close to sold out over the four days of competition - indicated that the sport retained support despite drugs and corruption scandals.It shows you that the sport is still very strong, Coe added. Nobody is denying the challenges that lie ahead to regain trust but this has been a pretty good start.Also See:Kotlyarova tests for meldoniumGrabarz bags high jump silverBronze for Ugen and PorterFired up Oldham ready to swingWholesale White Sox Jerseys .

Laudrup revealed Thursday he was notified of his dismissal in "the briefest of letters which gave no reasons why such hasty and final action was deemed necessary.MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy is never going to second-guess Kansas State counterpart Bill Snyder.There will be plenty of others who do.The No. 22 Cowboys took advantage when Snyder elected to punt near midfield on fourth-and-inches in the fourth quarter, and rallied for a 43-37 victory Saturday that was only secured when the Wildcats pass to the end zone was picked off on the final play.I know in the past hes played the percentages, Gundy said about the decision to punt, which gave his team the ball back trailing 37-28 with about 8 minutes left. Hes somewhat a genius when it comes to that.This time, it helped the Cowboys (7-2, 5-1, No. 18 CFP) keep their Big 12 title hopes alive.Mason Rudolph connected with James Washington on an 82-yard touchdown passes two plays later, and after a three-and-out, Chris Carson capped a go-ahead drive with a 17-yard TD run to give Oklahoma State the lead.I joked with the guys that I told Carson to slide if he gets in the open, Gundy said.Instead, Kansas State (5-4, 3-3) got the ball back with 1:39 left. After quickly marching downfield, and converting fourth-and-5 to remain alive, an offensive pass interference penalty in the end zone with 10 seconds left pushed them back to the Oklahoma State 13 with 4 seconds to go.Ertzs wobbler to the end zone was intercepted by Jordan Sterns to end the game.We were inconsistent in the second half of that ball game, Snyder said. Some good things, some not-so-good things, but a lot of that was Oklahoma State.Rudolph finished with 457 yards and five touchdowns through the air, though he also threw two picks -- one returned by Duke Shelley for a score. Washington had seven catches for 117 yards and two touchdowns.Ertz ran for 153 yards and three scores for Kansas State, but he was just 12 of 18 for 87 yards through the air, as the Wildcats finished with 345 yards rushing in a woefully imbalanced attack.The ground game allowed Kansas State to control the game early, marching on back-to-back long touchdown drives to take a 13-0 lead. But the Cowboys answered with back-to-back touchdown passes from Rudolph, and that began an entertaining back-and-forth matchup of vastly differing styles.The Wildcats stuck to the ground, bulldozing thheir way through a defense unable to stop them.dddddddddddd.The Cowboys kept shredding through the air a defense that couldnt keep pace.You cant let them have that deep ball, Kansas States Elijah Lee said. Thats what they live for.Oklahoma State led 23-21 at halftime before an atrocious third quarter that included a muffed punt return, a blocked punt and two crucial penalties allowed the Wildcats to seize a 30-21 advantage.The teams kept trading blows all the way to the final second.If we lose that game, this press conference is about being poor in special teams, you turn the ball over and cant stop the run then its hard to win a football game, Gundy said. I told our team earlier that its a great accomplishment to win up here.STILL STREAKINGThe Cowboys won their fifth straight Big 12 game by snapping a two-game skid in Manhattan. It was the first time in six meetings that the home team did not with the matchup.ALTERNATE UNISKansas State broke from tradition and wore silver camouflage helmets in a nod to the military on Fort Riley Day. Snyder has generally avoided the trend toward several uniform combinations.THE TAKEAWAYOklahoma State: Despite throwing two picks, the first ending a streak of 163 attempts without one, Rudolph was calm when it mattered the most. He engineered two scoring drives down the stretch when Oklahoma States Big 12 title hopes hung in the balance.Kansas State: It was another oh-so-close loss for the Wildcats, who dropped a similar nail-biter to West Virginia. Their failure to convert on third-and-inches in the fourth quarter, and then punting rather than going for it on fourth down, may have cost them the game.QUOTEABLE: We need to improve our defense against the pass, said Snyder, whose team has given up at least 300 yards through the air four of the past five games. My 9-year-old granddaughter knows that. And I dont have a 9-year-old granddaughter.UP NEXTOklahoma State plays its home finale against Texas Tech on Saturday.Kansas State has a week off before visiting No. 13 Baylor.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
