Library filer dated 14/4/03 of marathon runner Paula Radcliffe who is steeling herself for the biggest performance of her life at the Olympic Games, Saturday August 21, 2004. It is more than a year since her last marathon in April 2003 - and it will be in the searing heat of Athens - still scorching hot at 6pm when the run starts in Marathon tomorrow. Radcliffe, from Bedford, missed out on gold in the 10,000m at Sydney in 2000 and is determined to avoid a disappointing repeat over 26 miles. See PA story OLYMPICS Radcliffe. PA photo.
