In Lapua yesterday, Gordon was drawn in the highly favorable lane 3 inside the fastest in the field . Despite running a sluggish first 200m, his top bend really brought him into the race and after taking the lead at the 80m mark it was a fight all the way home to hold this lead. Gordon crossed the line finishing in a seasons best of 46.81 and a new track record!

This rounds up Gordon’s first round of races and places him 3rd on the Irish rankings this year.

The Mens 4 * 4 team will meet in Namur where they will attempt to qualify for this year’s Olympics.
