Ritzenheim praying for rain to sink Cragg’s challenge at Stormont

DATHAN RITZENHEIM plans a second big surprise when he defends his Belfast International Cross Country title at Stormont today.

The American strode out of the blue to defeat some classy Africans last year, and while Irish star Alistair Craggs is in the field, he fancies his chances.

“It was great last year, and I think I’ll have a fair chance again. I feel really fit,” said Ritzenheim.
