The main photo above shows Sonia O'Sullivan in full stride during the 10,000m at the 2002 European
Athletics Championships, where she won the silver medal behind the magnificent Paula Radcliffe.
The left inset picture shows Sonia about to be agonisingly pipped at the post by Marta Dominguez
in the 5000m final. The right inset picture shows a sanguine looking O'Sullivan during the
medal ceremony of the 5000m.
