Jo Pavey will compete in the ‘Visit Scotland’ Great Edinburgh Cross-Country event on January 14.

It was far from the ending to her fifth Olympic final that Sonia O'Sullivan had dreamt of, but, having been burned off the pace after 2-and-a-half laps of tonight's 5000m final, the Cobh athlete was still thankful for the experience.

SONIA O’SULLIVAN is safely through to Monday night’s final of the women’s 5,000m with a chance of adding another medal to the silver she won in Sydney four years ago.
