Sonia O’Sullivan, a former Irish athletics star, has encouraged Mark English to continue competing until the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. O’Sullivan, who retired from professional athletics, believes English has the potential to reach the next Olympic cycle. Her comments come after English recently competed in a major international event, showcasing his continued form.
O’Sullivan highlighted English’s endurance and mental strength, qualities she says are essential for long-term success in athletics. She emphasized that the 2028 Games represent a significant milestone for athletes in their careers. English, currently in his late twenties, has already achieved notable success in his career.
The encouragement from a former national star adds momentum to English’s ambitions. While the 2024 Olympics in Paris are approaching, O’Sullivan’s support suggests that English’s journey could extend well beyond that. Her words reflect a belief in his ability to maintain peak performance for several more years.
English’s team has also expressed confidence in his ability to compete at the highest level. With the 2028 Games still several years away, the focus remains on consistent training and competition.
