World 20-kilometre walk silver medallist Gillian O’Sullivan will compete indoors in Belfast later this month where she set a world 3km walking record 12 months ago.

O'Sullivan is part of an impressive line-up for the Irish Indoor Athletic Championships on February 14, a line-up which also includes world indoor 400m bronze medallist Paul McKee and Ballymena’s multi-Irish sprint record holder Paul Brizzell.

Britain's Olympic 200m silver medallist Darren Campbell will also appear.

Last year Campbell, aged 30, scored a surprise success when beating former world indoor junior champion Mark Lewis-Francis over 60m in the Odyssey Arena.
