LONDON (AP) A fourth official from the 2017 world track and field championships has resigned from the London organizing committee in the space of two months.
Tanni Grey-Thompson, an 11-time Paralympic wheelchair athletics champion, announced Thursday she had quit the board in frustration over her role.
Addressing the Sport Industry Breakfast Club in London, Grey-Thompson said: ''I got to the point where I was going round in circles ... I think my role was seen `I can do the Paralympics stuff.'''
Grey-Thompson says she felt her role was a ''bit too tokenistic.''
In February, managing director Sally Bolton quit after fellow board members Heather Hancock and Martin Stewart left their positions.
London won the bid to stage the championships in a 2011 vote. The event will be held at the Olympic Stadium.
