Have a question for Seb Coe? This is your chance to get answers from the main man behind the London 2012 Olympics.
July 27 is a significant day for London; it marks one year until arguably the greatest spectacle in global sport takes place in the British capital.
Beginning with the symbolic lighting of the flame, and enduring for 19 days until it is extinguished, nation will fight nation across 26 sports and 39 disciplines in pursuit of the coveted haul of gold medals on offer.
The drama, emotion and enchantment of the Olympic Games is enough to capture imaginations across the planet as the story of athletic ambition unfolds. London will be the backdrop to an event which will undoubtedly test previous records as the most watched event of all time.
To be the man charged with delivering the Games to such high expectations is a role few would welcome and even fewer could pull off, but for Sebastian Coe - former 1500 meter world record holder, double Olympic gold medallist and British lawmaker - it is his day job.
The 54-year-old, who lead the successful bid which saw London chosen by the International Olympic Association (IOC) over Paris and Madrid as hosts, has been project-manager supreme preparing a sprawling city of millions to welcome the world in celebration of track and field.
CNN will be speaking to Coe on Monday 25 July ahead of the 'one year to go' countdown and will give you the chance to ask the 2012 chief your questions.
Have you had success in buying tickets for the event or have you been frustrated by the online ordering process? What did Coe and his team learn from 2008 and should we expect an opening ceremeny to beat Beijing?
Which athletes would Coe tip for glory and is he confident that Team GB will muster home support by winning a clutch of golds?
What have been the biggest challenges thus far and is he confident the numerous venues will be ready on time? Are you concerned about the transport or accommodation if you are thinking of travelling to London for the Games?
CNN will put your questions to the man who has been working on the solutions, just add your posers to the comment box below or send a message to @WorldSportCNN.
