(Reuters) - International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) president Sebastian Coe must take action over the delay in presenting Jessica Ennis-Hill with her 2011 World Championships gold medal, her former coach Toni Minichiello has said. Briton Ennis-Hill, 30, was upgraded to a gold medal for the heptathlon event in 2011 after Russian winner Tatyana Chernova was stripped of her title in November for a doping violation. Coe had said that reallocated medals would be presented at the 2017 World Championships in London but the Times newspaper said legal process was unlikely to be completed by August. You can say 'we're changing', but things like this very quickly disintegrate any goodwill you have created. Retired Olympic champion Ennis-Hill also won the world title in 2009 and 2015.
