Athletics: Sonia O'Sullivan will continue her preparations for the European Championships at the end of the summer at the Great Women's Run over 10 kilometres in Sunderland on June 25th.

O'Sullivan, building towards Gothenburg at the start of August, will face a stiff challenge from Ethiopia's Gete Wami in Sunderland.

Wami, best remembered for outsprinting Radcliffe for the gold medal in a classic World Championships 10,000 metres seven years ago, is making an impressive comeback.
