By Larry Fine NEW YORK - Paula Radcliffe must get over her Olympic bitterness and focus on the next edition in London in 2012, she said on Monday. "I don't think I can keep going back over it, the bitterness that I don't need," the veteran Briton told reporters after winning the New York City marathon for the third time on Sunday. "It's a situation I can't change. "I'm trying to stay positive and looking forward to 2012. I would like to be in London, I feel like I've got it the Olympics taken away from me twice now because of injuries." Radcliffe may be 34 but she said ahead of the New York race that a gold medal in four years' time was still within reach. "I do believe I have the chance to have another shot in 2012," she said. "I'll be 38 then. Constantina Tomescu-Dita, the Olympic champion from Romania was 38 this year so I know it's possible. "I know the odds probably get less each time but my whole philosophy is keep persevering. For me personally it's certainly a huge motivation. "I think the atmosphere and the support for the Olympics in your home country is an opportunity I would never want to miss." BEIJING AGONY Continued...
