I'm about to head over to the Olympic Stadium to watch Paula Radcliffe in the 10,000m.

Despite having an access all areas press pass I should also have a special ticket to get me into the stadium this evening, as it's classed as a "high demand" event.

However, I managed to talk my way in yesterday without too much difficulty yesterday as the gate staff didn't seem to have much of an idea of who was allowed in and who wasn't.

The tried-and-tested method of walking purposefully and acting as if I have a right to be there worked a treat.

Hopefully it'll work again tonight.

Paula's performance will either be a redeeming moment of sporting history or a crashing disappointment.
