Sonia considers her options for 800m and 1500m double

SONIA O’SULLIVAN has been travelling a familiar path along the Olympic route and this weekend could see her repeat her Sydney 2000 strategy should she double up over 800m and 1,500m at the Woodies DIY National Championships at Morton Stadium.

Whatever about the 800m she will almost certainly contest the 1,500m and her presence could make this the race of the weekend.

Freda Davoren is oozing confidence right now. She won very impressively at the BUPA Cork City Sports and would have won in Thessalonika on Monday night only for getting boxed in at the critical point and eventually finished second.
