In-form Hession hails display after victory in Spain
It is the second fastest ever time by an Irishman outside of his own national record which he set at 10.18secs in Thesalonika last year.
With the 200m as his target it was a late decision to run the 100m and it turned out well for the Athenry medical student who got the evening off to a flying start in the shorter sprint — finishing third behind the Spanish record holder, Angel Rodriguez, who thrilled the home fans with a stunning victory over the reigning European 100m and 200m champion, Francis Obikwelu of Portugal.
