“We’ve got the great home team. We’ve got the great home stadium and so it’s going to be great to have it happen in the United States. I’m very excited about that. To be honest, the fact that women came out of the Olympics with so much wind at their backs and with so many great performances, the fact that we will see many of those women – some of them very young– returning next summer to compete here is super exciting too. I think it could be historic in the United States for elevating track and field and particularly for elevating some of the women in track and field who deserve more attention.“
