Paula Radcliffe
I've had a lot of success over the years racing in New York, but the main point is that I feel the marathon is a different event, a lot more my event.
Paula Radcliffe
I used to say that the newspapers were tomorrow's fish and chip paper, but I didn't really mean it I could still be hurt by what they said. After Athens, I just didn't care.
Paula Radcliffe
At big championships it's not the fastest person, it's the person who gets it right on the day.
Paula Radcliffe
The Olympics is not a race I want to watch on television and think 'I wonder what I could have done if I was there?
