Hession: Gillick will be in the medals in Berlin

PAUL HESSION believes David Gillick has a superb chance of claiming a bronze medal at next month’s IAAF World Championships in Berlin.

Gillick smashed his own Irish 400m record in Madrid earlier this month, dipping beneath the significant 45-second barrier with a time of 44.77 that has carried him up to joint fourth ranking this season.

The Dubliner subsequently broke the 45-second barrier for the second time in six days in Rome and he will be well aware that David Neville won bronze at the Olympics last year with a time of 44.80.
