Athletics: Radcliffe rivals miss out on Dublin

Paula Radcliffe is not taking anything for granted even though her three top rivals will be missing when she defends her World Cross Country long course title in Dublin tomorrow.

Derartu Tulu, Berhane Adere and Gete Wami, who clinched the medals ahead of Radcliffe in last year’s World 10,000 metres final, are not included in the Ethiopian team, but Radcliffe claims that will not make the race any easier.
