Hession and Cuddihy back among big guns at Brussels Golden League meet
Joanne Cuddihy is also likely to be in Belgium to run in the 400m while Derval O’Rourke will take a long overdue holiday and will not race again this season. Hession said yesterday he was looking forward to his Brussels Golden League debut. “I don’t know what lane I will get or anything like that, but it doesn’t really matter,” he said. “I am just looking forward to competing at the meeting.”
He was offered a place in the line-up following his exciting performances at the world championships in Osaka when he finished second to Rodney Martin (US) in the first round of the men’s 200m in 20.46. He followed that up by winning his second round heat in 20.50 secs, beating most of the top Europeans and the high-flying Australian, Patrick Johnson, who has Irish roots.
