Hession eyes Olympic final after performance in London

Paul Hession gave notice that he is a serious contender for a place in the Olympic final by running a season's best time (20.37 seconds) in this afternoon's world class 200 metres race at the Aviva London Grand Prix.

The Athenry man, in his last outing before Beijing, finished strongly to secure third place behind American's Wallace Spearmon (20.27) and runaway winner Usain Bolt of Jamaica (19.76).
