In-form Hession fifth in Lucerne

PAUL HESSION may have lost his winning streak but he maintained his form in Lucerne last night where he finished fifth in the 200m in 20.75 secs.

It should have been an ideal night for sprinting – no wind – but heavy downpours that upset the timing and caused a 40-minute delay in the programme resulted in a wet track.

Hession lined up in Lane 4 – inside Wallace Spearmon who had finished fourth in the 100m earlier (10.26 secs) – and he had the American in his sights at the crown of the bend.
