Athletics: Sonia O'Sullivan has been cleared to run for Australia in the Commonwealth Games, according to Australian media reports.
The Irish Olympic silver medallist has been given permission to compete for Australia by the Commonwealth Games Federation, according to The Age newspaper.
O’Sullivan, a 36-year-old who has two Australian children by her partner and manager Nic Bideau, was granted citizenship last week.
