Radcliffe reveals 2012 ambition


Radcliffe gave birth to daughter Isla 10 months ago

Paula Radcliffe says she hopes to compete in the 2012 Olympics in London at the age of 38.

Radcliffe won the New York Marathon on Sunday just 10 months after giving birth to her first child.

And Radcliffe said that she now saw the prospect of prolonging her career until 2012 as a "realistic ambition".

"I'm a long way from wanting to step back and I really do want to continue through 2012 if I can."

After the birth of daughter Isla, Radcliffe had to overcome a back injury.

But the marathon world record holder showed no signs of a problem as she held off great rival Gete Wami to win by 23 seconds in New York.
