Happy return for Gillick in Geneva

DAVID GILLICK was returning to the scene of last year’s record-breaking performance when he raced in Geneva and, while the record he set there remains intact at 45.23 secs, his 45.65 sec opener was spectacular.

He finished second to his training partner, Martyn Rooney, who has strong Irish roots and who powered clear over the last 50m to win in 45.19 secs.

Joanne Cuddihy finished fifth in her 400m race in 53.08.
