Paul Hession ran magnificently at the Bislett Games in Oslo last Fridy night. On a night of high drama at the Norwegian track that included a new worlds record in the women’s 5,000m event, posted by Meseret Defar of Ethiopia, the pride of Athenry Paul ran faster than the current Irish record for 200m. It was only a wind speed marginally over the legal limit that prevented the Irishman from taking his second national record in only two weeks.
