Confident Cragg ponders double bid

EUROPEAN gold medallist Alistair Cragg is considering an audacious attempt at the 4km and 12km titles on successive days at the World Cross-Country Championships in Saint-Etienne/Saint-Galmier next weekend.

Cragg, who won the 3,000m at the Euro Indoor Championships in Madrid, had initially only targeted the short course event.

“We have spoken to Alistair and there is a possibility he will double up,” revealed AAI International Secretary, Liam Hennessy, yesterday.
