BIRMINGHAM (GBR): Olympic heptathlon bronze medallist Kelly Sotherton believes Birmingham should bid to host an edition of the World Athletics Championships. Alexander Stadium, which is being renovated, will host the Commonwealth Games in 2022. Sotherton, who is a coach at the track, said: “If you have got a facility that is world class and it has held world class events then the future has no limits. It will be there, ready to go. I would like to think that we would one day bid for something big so why not?”
