"Keely Hodgkinson responded to a story on X saying London's bid for the 2029 World Athletics Championships is in jeopardy, stating, 'The GB team will bring back more medals to that stadium than West Ham have seen in their entire history.'"
"West Ham secured tenancy of the taxpayer-funded stadium in 2013, pointing out that they have a contractual right ensuring their games take priority during the football season."
"Lord Coe commented on West Ham's stadium deal, saying, 'I've sat on the board of one Premier League club and I'm very close to another one. I think they would have been pretty satisfied with that deal.'"
Keely Hodgkinson humorously criticized West Ham for possibly hindering London's bid for the 2029 World Athletics Championships. West Ham is reluctant to vacate the London Stadium for three weeks, as their football season will have begun. Hodgkinson's comments on social media received mixed reactions, with athletics fans supporting her while some West Ham supporters found her remarks disrespectful. The club's tenancy agreement prioritizes their games, and other cities are also competing to host the championships.
