Paula Radcliffe still in doubt for marathon

Paula Radcliffe is expected to join the British Olympic team in Macau today, although officials are unsure if she will compete in the Olympics.

She still hopes to run despite suffering a stress fracture of her left femur.

“My crystal ball is unfortunately not working very well so I’ll wait and see where we are but as things positively reflect that’s good news,” Dave Collins, the national performance director of U.K. Athletic told reporters on Sunday.

“It’s confirmation for me that she’s making good progress.”

“The challenge she’s taken on is a considerable one and it’s important to us that challenge is progressing not at the expense of her long-term health but also to see how that performance is progressing in terms of her getting towards good shape to be able to perform,” he said.
