O'Connell said he has no intention of going to the Olympic Games.

"I'm not going. I have no interest. I came to Iten many years ago as a young person to work among youth and that is still my priority.

"It's not going to the Olympics, it's not coaching superstars. If they become a superstar, it's ok. If they don't, not a problem."
