Marlon motors to 200m victory in Athens

MARLON DEVONISH posted a season’s best time in winning the 200 metres at last night’s IAAF Super Grand Prix meeting in Athens.

The 30-year-old Coventry sprinter clocked a time of 20.53 seconds to score what was a welcome victory ahead of Panagiotis Sarris and Ioannis Tzogas.

The Greek pair never troubled Devonish, who was a late entry for the event after earlier exceeding all expectations in finishing fifth in the 100m final.
