Former Olympic champions Sally Gunnell and Christine Ohuruogu having differing opinions when it comes to the 2019 World Championships in Qatar.

Gunnell, who won gold in the 400m hurdles, believes the conditions in Doha won't be too different to what athletes have faced over the years.

Speaking at the speaking at Sky Sports/Sunday Times Sportswomen of the year, Gunnell said: "It's hard for the marathon, but it's not that different to the climate we've run in for many many years."

Sprinter Ohuruogu won the 400m title at last year's World Championship in Moscow, but expects to be long retired by 2019.

Ohuruogu, speaking at the same event, told ITV News: "People say it's going to be 40 degree weather and that sounds unbearable to me."
