Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te tau 1997 i wehe ai a Radcliffe i a Wami me Tulu, a, i riro i a ia te mētara hiriwa i te
1997 IAAF World Cross Country Championships. I whakawhiwhia ki a ia e te IAAF. Ko Radcliffe te wahine tuatahi ki te tiaki i te taitara Fifth Avenue Mile. I te 1997 World Championships, i mutu a Radcliffe i te 4th i runga i te 5,000 mita. I kaha ake a Wami i a Radcliffe i tana whakataetae whakamutunga o te tau 1997, i te huihuinga whakawhiti whenua o Brussels. I wehe atu a Radcliffe i te whakataetae whakawhiti whenua o Durham me te rewharewha i te timatanga o te tau 1998, engari i hoki mai ano ki te mutunga tuatoru i Dublin. I te putanga o te 1998 o te Ao Cross Country, i riro ano a Radcliffe i te mētara hiriwa. I whakatūria e Radcliffe tētahi ao hou i runga i te huarahi huri noa i Balmoral Castle. I te Ipu o Europi, ko Radcliffe, te rangatira o te kapa, i wikitoria i te 5,000 mita ka mutu ko te tuarua i te 1500 mita. I whakatakoto a Radcliffe i te tere i roto i te 10,000 mita i nga Whakataetae Pakeha, engari i mutu i te tuarima. Ko Radcliffe, e mate ana i te mate huaketo, i whai waahi, i mua i tana hokinga mai ki te kaupapa whakawhiti whenua, i reira ia i wikitoria ai i tana taitara matua tuatahi ma te eke ki te whakataetae roa o Europi. I mutu te 1998 me te wha o nga waahi i Brussels.
