Nolan, Hession cleared for Helsinki

JAMES NOLAN (1,500m) and Paul Hession (200m) were declared fit to compete at the world championships in Helsinki following Saturday’s Dublin International Meet at Morton Stadium.

But a decision on David Gillick (400m) will be delayed until later today.

Nolan, the holder, finished third in a pedestrian Morton Mile where a 65 second third lap put paid to hopes of a sub four minute mile, but his 55 second final lap was sufficient to convince the selectors he was ready for the fray.
