An IAAF team has been in Portland and Eugene this week to discuss preparations for the 2021 World Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
The championships are more than three years away. But there are unresolved issues, such as repeated delays to required renovations of Hayward Field, and a reported FBI investigation into how the championships were awarded.
The International Association of Athletics Federations is the governing body of international track and field. The visiting team was headed by IAAF chief operating officer Olivier Gers.
Speaking by phone on Wednesday from Eugene, Gers declined to address specifics of the stadium renovation or the reported FBI investigation.
