O'Sullivan unsure over Gothenburg

Sonia O'Sullivan is recovering from a hamstring injury

Sonia O'Sullivan has yet to decide whether to compete in this summer's European Championships in Gothenburg.

The 36-year-old Irishwoman said she would assess her track form before finalising her plans for the season.

"If I can get myself fitter and do a few more races, I might make it," said O'Sullivan who missed the Commonwealth Games because of a hamstring injury.

O'Sullivan was to have competed for Australia in Melbourne as she holds dual nationality.

"I need to be patient, get my confidence back and find new evidence I can run on the track," she added.

"We will see how it goes, but if the track is ruled out, I might, having done two already this year, do all of the Great Run events, including the Ethiopian Run."

That decision would see her competing in Edinburgh on 7 May over 10 kilometres and a fortnight later over the same distance at the BUPA Great Manchester Run which she won two years ago.

Then O'Sullivan would seek to regain the Great North Run half-marathon title on 1 October and challenge again three weeks later in the Great South Run, where four years ago she set what was then a world record for the 10-mile distance.

The Great Ethiopian Run is scheduled for Addis Ababa in November.
