Athletics: Just one Athens event for Sonia

SONIA O’SULLIVAN has confirmed she plans to run just one event in August’s Olympic Games in Athens.

In previous games the Cobh athlete has kept her options open by declaring her entry for a number of different long-distance events.

But with six months left to go before the games in Greece, the Melbourne-based athlete has decided to focus all her attentions on the 5000 metres race, an event in which she won a silver medal at the last Olympics in Sydney.
