Hendricken aims to put record straight in Golden League

GERALDINE HENDRICKEN will end her season in whirlwind fashion taking in the Golden League meetings in Brussels on August 30 and Berlin on September 6 before rounding things off in Rieti two days later.

The Carlow athlete was bitterly disappointed with her performance in the heats of the women’s 1,500m last week failing qualify behind the eventual gold medallist, Sureyya Ayhan of Turkey.

Afterwards she felt she might not be considered by the organisers of the Grand Prix meetings on foot of this performance but, even at that point, it was clear that the run in question was out of context and best forgotten and yesterday she was back on course again after some good training sessions back home and a talk with Ray Flynn.
