A truly clean and talented Athlete. Loved watching her.

[@oppamaclare]

Ya clean is right. She was the first clean athlete to cross the line in a lot of races.

[@Marjopolo302]

She was a machine, that kick. Probably Irelands best ever woman . And may well be for a long , long time

[@rc2869]

Perfect cadence there from SO'S.

[@FergalFoley]

Sonia is an amazing Irish athlete ❤

[@emu9520]

Our champion…she made me so proud to be Irish

[@martinafitzgerald6995]

I remember years ago running in a 5k ,Sonia was crossing the finishing line when we were going through the 3k mark. She was marvellous, luke a gazelle ! Poetry in motion !

[@stephenpatterson2204]

Absolute world class athlete 🔥

[@stephensomerville768]

I love the understated "nothing dramatic" from Coleman near the end 😂. The long legs and speed from Sonia is inspiring to watch. What a superb runner and race to watch.

[@DadgeCity]

You don't win prizes for style, you win them for power, stamina and speed." Well said, Brendan

Should have her Olympic gold medal but for the 3 that cheated.

[@celticlofts]

And their medals were never taken away. Cheating Chinese bastards.

[@earlybird32]

That was a travesty back in Sydney 2000.

[@justthetruth1]

What is happening with Zsabo?????

[@liamodriscoll571]

She's a drug cheat denied sonia gold in Sydney

[@johnmc3862]

Didn't get her injections.

[@06000514]

Upcoming European track athletes, if you wanna be successful or win your races, tell the commentators not to hype you over the other athletes. Now i see they did it with Paula on the track and now with 5000m runner Jakob is being hyped to win by the commentators. Lol. Paula is still one of the greatest Marathon runner

[@simonedwards5564]

Which is EXACTLY why seb coe lost the 800m in Moscow 1980 Olympics!!!!!!! The media DESTROYED HIM WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY before gun was fired!!!!!!!!

[@Kevin-lf4xx]

Cheated out of Olympic hold.

[@tommytempo1]

One of a few unfortunately!

[@jamcatkearney8661]
