Waitz: Has Sonia still the hunger for Olympics?

RUNNING legend Grete Waitz has questioned whether Sonia O'Sullivan still has the required hunger for Olympic success

The Norwegian is a friend of the Irish star from their days training in Waitz's adopted town of Gainesville, Florida, and believes O'Sullivan, 34, can have a great Olympic Games in Athens later this year if she stays fit and healthy.

But Waitz sees parallels in O'Sullivan with her own lengthy and successful career and thinks she has reached the stage in her career where winning becomes less important.
