Dina Asher-Smith has called for UK Athletics to retain their foothold in the capital amid talks that could see the cash-strapped governing body sell its right to use the London Stadium.
It is understood UKA are in discussions around a potential deal to relinquish their occupancy of the London 2012 centrepiece for a weekend each July.
They signed a 50-year lease in 2013 on the ground, which houses West Ham, but with a new stadium being built in Birmingham for the Commonwealth Games, fears are growing within athletics that they could cash in for between £10million and £15m and switch away from London.
