Paula Radcliffe will this week make the heartbreaking decision to withdraw from the London Olympics.
The 38-year-old world-record holder will finally give up the battle to get her battered body to the start of the women’s marathon on The Mall next Sunday.
Radcliffe has been struggling for fitness since a degenerative foot injury flared up three weeks ago and now, according to sources close to both the athlete’s camp and UK Athletics, her battle is over.

‘The time to make a decision has arrived and there’s only one decision to make,’ said the source. ‘Paula is not fit to run at the moment. There will be an announcement shortly.’
Radcliffe recently flew to Munich to seek help from renowned sports doctor Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt for osteoarthritis in her left foot in a desperate bid to get fit for the Games.
World class: Paula Radcliffe has won both the London and New York marathons three times
The possibility of her withdrawal was floated as far back as April by Radcliffe’s lifelong friend and former Team GB marathon colleague Liz Yelling.
‘If she’s injured she won’t put herself through that [an Olympic marathon] again,’ said Yelling in the build-up to the London Marathon.
Pulling out of what would be her fifth Games will be agony for Radcliffe who, despite winning both the London and New York marathons three times and Golds at the European and World Championships, has yet to win an Olympic medal.
The closest she has come was when she finished fourth in the 10,000m in Sydney in 2000.
Four years later in Athens her race fell apart through stomach cramps brought on by anti-inflammatory drugs she had taken for a leg injury. Radcliffe pulled out four miles from the finish and burst into tears.
She was dogged by a stress-fracture to her leg four years ago in Beijing and trailed home in 23rd place.
