Hession targets Brizzell’s 200m record
The Athenry sprinter has already claimed the indoor 60 metres record, made the finals of that event at the European indoor championships and then, in his first race of the season in Greece, smashed the 100m record. He reduced that record to a world class 10.18 secs at the European Cup in Vaasa on Saturday.
Now the 200m record, which has been his long-time target, is firmly in his sights. Paul Brizzell set it at altitude some years ago when he ran 20.54 secs.
