SONIA O’SULLLIVAN raced into the record books again last night, claiming a European silver medal in the process, but could only watch as Paula Radcliffe stole Ingrid Kristiansen’s 16-year-old European 10,000m title.

SONIA O'SULLIVAN is noted for surprises and she produced another big one for fans yesterday in the form of an unique 800m/5,000m double at the national track and field championships at Morton Stadium.
