O’Sullivan may mark the big-five-oh with less formal celebrations.
At The42, we plan on spending the next few days revisiting O’Sullivan’s incredible career, its vicissitudes, the controversies, memorable triumphs, her legacy and more.
We’ll make stops in places like Gothenburg, Barcelona, Villanova University, Atlanta, Helsinki and Sydney. But first, read about O’Sullivan’s first steps into athletics, taken from the island of Cobh.
