O’Sullivan confirms desire to represent Australia

SONIA O’SULLIVAN has confirmed she would like to run for Australia in next year’s Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.

The 35-year-old, who lives in Melbourne, says she will never renounce her Irish citizenship and will continue to represent her native country as long she is racing at international level.

But having spent so much time Down Under with partner Nic Bideau and her young daughters Ciara and Sophie, she wants to run in an Aussie vest at the Games next March.
