Hession eyes sensational season finale at Stuttgart

PAUL HESSION faces a star-studded field in the 200m (4pm Irish time) at the world athletics finals in Stuttgart tomorrow.

“I haven’t taken my foot off the pedal since the Olympics,” he said as he boarded his flight at Dublin Airport yesterday. “Okay, my times have dropped a little bit — 20.61 in Gateshead and 20.65 in Lausanne — but I am very happy with the results.
