Irish duo back on track in Zurich

AFTER their Berlin adventures, David Gillick and Derval O’Rourke make a quick return to big-time athletics at the Weltklasse in Zurich, the penultimate Golden League meet, tonight.

Gillick will line up amidst some familiar faces for the men’s 400m when five of the eight world championship finalists will be in action – there is also a semi-finalist, Sean Wroe (Australia), with two Americans, Kerron Clement and Angelo Taylor, in the field.

Top of the listings are the three medallists, reigning Olympic champion, LaShawn Merritt, and the man he dethroned in Beijing last year and again in Berlin this year, Jeremy Wariner, as well as bronze medallist, Renny Quow from Trinidad.
