West Ham United captain Matthew Upson says they're the right choice to takeover the Olympic stadium - and not Tottenham.
West Ham have every intention of keeping the running track and Upson hopes the right decision is made on January 28, when the Olympic Park Legacy Committee announce the preferred bidder.
Upson said: "I do understand why the club see the importance of athletics within the stadium and also for what it will mean for the community.
"It would be a positive thing for future generations. It is important and would be for the greater good of UK sport."
And Hammers striker Carlton Cole added: "I am looking forward to the Olympics, but also afterwards. If, hopefully, we do get it, then there will also be other sporting events going on, either in the summer break or whatever. It would be a great all-round package for the community."
