    She walked a world record at the national championships last year, another at the national indoors in February, and missed another one a couple of weeks ago by a small margin. She was in a medal position for most of last year's European championships and got passed in the last kilometer (I think, the coverage where I was was a bit shaky).

    Yeah well done to her, and pity RTE could be arsed to show any of it (they're complaining the rights are too expensive) Can the other O'Sullivan do as well though?

    Mike.
