I know this is missing a lot of information, so if any of you out there know more about this, please submit a more complete entry.

Here's some things to consider adding to this bio:

The 3 world indoor 1500 meter championships won by O'Sullivan were in 1987 (Indianapolis), 1989 (Budapest), and 1993 (Toronto). In his victories in 1987 and 1989, he set course records. He was 4th in 1991 (Seville).

He qualified for 4 Olympic games for Ireland: 1984, 1988, 1992, and 1996, at both 800 meters and 1500 meters. He reached the 1500 meter finals at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

He set an indoor 1500 meters world record of 3:35.4 on February 10, 1989.

His PB for the mile, set indoors in 1987, is 3:50.96, and his PB for 1500 meters is 3:33.65, set in 1992.

O'Sullivan, along with Ray Flynn, Eamonn Coghlan, and Frank O'Mara (all of Ireland) established the still standing world record in the 4 x mile relay, when they combined in Dublin on August 17, 1985 to run 15:49.08.

In addition to his ties to American record holder Bob Kennedy, O'Sullivan has made a name for himself as a coach of elite professional runners such as former world-record holder Sydney Maree, Canadian indoor world silver medalist Carmen Douma-Hussar, and New Zealander Adrian Blincoe.
