    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    We might have had a chance if she did.

    Even better that she's not competing for Ireland.

    She will compete for Ireland, she's only doing this for the commonwealth games. Which thankfully we're not part of...

    Which you shouldn't have needed to point out because it's in the article. Above there. Not even on a link, right above there. First post in the thread. (Or rather it would be, if I hadn't deleted it.)

    One day, in a magical, mystical, wonderful land far, far away, people will actually read the article before posting their, uh, "opinion".

    it is a easier competion she is stepping down she is not good enough to compete in top level international or european distance running so she will compete in less competitive competitions

    its more like if sheringham he prefers to play 1st team football in the championship rather than being a sub for some premiershipteam or retiring

    If she races for Australia in the Commonwealth Games. She's just racing for a different team, at a separate competition she may not be eligible for otherwise.

    She's already won medals for another team apart from Ireland.
    The Irish Universities in Sheffield in 1991 at the World Student Games.

    Silver
    Sonia O'Sullivan IRL 8:56.35

    Bronze
    Zita Ágoston HUN 9:01.09..."

    Didn't see her compete, I was watching the Men's Football.

    What is it with Corkonians and their wavering national loyalty ?

    After all that
    Sonia O'Sullivan, who was due to run for Australia at the Commonwealth Games, has lost her battle to overcome a hamstring injury.

    The 36-year-old former world champion has pulled out of the women's 5,000 metres set for Friday.
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    Surely she should've been representing Queenstown anyway. They're still part of the Commonwealth aren't they?

    i heard that the injury was just a feign, because she got a bit too much stick in aus,becuase she stated that she would still run for ireland in europe and the world championships.

    anyhow she is 36 now....

    And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,

    Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
