LONDON (Reuters) - Seb Coe hailed the inaugural two-day Athletics World Cup at the London Stadium, which was won by the United States on Sunday, as a success and said other cities have expressed interest in hosting what is expected to be a biennial event.

The U.S. won six of Sunday's 15 events to extend their 24-point overnight lead and finish on 219 points, 57 points ahead of second-placed Poland, and claim the $450,000 prize money.
