	Radcliffe, Paula - MSN Encarta
		Radcliffe, Paula (1973-), British athlete, world champion cross-country runner, track gold medallist at 5,000 m and 10,000 m, and marathon world record holder.
		Radcliffe showed she was a classy runner at an early age—winning the World Junior Cross-Country title in 1992 in Boston, United States—though her style can be disconcerting, marked by a distinctive bobbing of the head that critics say makes her uneconomical in her running.
		Radcliffe competed at the 2005 World Championships in two events, finishing ninth in the 10,000 m and winning the marathon gold medal in a championship record time.

	Radcliffe makes up the ground - The Boston Globe
		From the moment the morning came up cool, breezy, and drizzling -- perfect English weather -- this was Radcliffe's day and she seized it, leading at every checkpoint on the loop course and busting the race open with 8 miles to go.
		Ever since Athens, where she dropped out of both the marathon and the 10,000 meters, Radcliffe had been hearing that she was a front-runner who couldn't handle the squeeze at the only two meets where everybody shows up.
		After Radcliffe finished a faded ninth in the 10,000 meters on the meet's opening night, her critics said she'd been foolish, throwing away a golden chance in the marathon for a fool's errand against swifter Ethiopians on the track.

	Blogger: Email Post to a Friend
		Paula Radcliffe not only won today's London Marathon but did so 5 minutes ahead of the other runners, yet she was compelled to make an apology for part of her performance.
		Paula Radcliffe (unfortunately) continues to not only have to relive her pulling-out during the marathon at the Olympics in Athens, but she has continually apologised for it, and again today she apologised to the British public; Paula, why are you apologising?
		One could tell how badly Paula Radcliffe was feeling about her performance and I am sure she had done a sufficient job in "beating" herself-up over it, but that certainly wasn't enough for British journalists.

	Guardian Unlimited Sport \| Athletics \| Big interview: Paula Radcliffe
		Radcliffe has just been subjected to a snide attack on her and Gary Lough, her husband and manager, by Matthew Syed, a former table-tennis player and current Times columnist.
		Describing Radcliffe as "a poor wretch" whose new book is "more like something from the literature of pathology than sport", Syed skewered her husband by supposedly analysing how, in the words of the coarse headline, "Lough and marriage failed to rescue Radcliffe".
		Radcliffe talks about her heroic New York win with such simple conviction that it seems all the more moving when she describes her contrasting uncertainty in ordinary life.

		Radcliffe turns 31 next month and though running is important to her, “it’s not the most important thing”.

		So much was expected from Paula Radcliffe; the UK press had gone into overdrive and were taking it for granted that she would bring home a gold medal.
		Radcliff should have finished the race out of respect for her fellow runners, out of respect for the olympics and the hundreds of people who gathered in the stadium to cheer her on
		Paula Radcliffe has accomplished so much already in her career and if she feels that she can't finish an event or marathon then I fully respect her decision.
