Usain Bolts to victory as Hession wins B race

USAIN BOLT ran a tremendous time of 19.59 seconds in atrocious conditions to win the 200 metres at the Athletissima meeting in Lausanne last night – while Ireland’s Paul Hession took the B race in the same event.

Hession did not have the dubious pleasure of running against Bolt last night but when the two separate 200m races were summarised, the Irish record holder ended up third overall and added 14 Super Grand Prix points to his total for the season.

Hession blazed to victory in the first race in 20.50secs, winning from the American Kelly Willie, 50.53secs, and the Japanese 100m champion, Shinji Takahira, 20.58secs in third.
