Repeat of Beijing is goal for Hession

Four years ago in Beijing Paul Hession turned in a stunning performance to win his second round heat and qualify for the semi-finals of the 200m at the Olympic Games.

For the Athenry sprinter, who had finished third in his first round heat, it was the biggest night of his career.

In the second round — he won the race in 20.32 seconds — he had Wallace Spearmon and Jaysuma Saidy Ndure behind him.
