Paul Hession produced one of the finest performances ever by an Irish sprinter when running 20.56 (+1.0) for the 200m in Malmo, Sweden tonight. Paul was 4th in a close race which was won by Australian Patrick Johnson. What made the feat the more impressive was that he finished within 1/10th of a second of European silver medalist Johan Wissman. Paul Brizzel’s Irish Record of 20.54 now looks very much in danger with Hession seemingly improving in every race.
