In the early hours of Friday 2nd September, Paul Hession took to the track for his 4th successive World Athletics Championships in South Korea. Running in Heat 3, Paul came home in a creditable 4th place, against some stiff competition in a time of 21.02.

The first three from each heat qualified along with the three fastest from the non-automatic qualifiers.  Due to some very fast heats, Paul did not make the three fastest losers.

Bad day at the office Paul, but your club, county and country are still proud of you. Roll on London in 12 months time.

P.S. It was a disappointing championships for the other local athlete competing there too, Olive Loughnane of Loughrea AC.
