The two Irish sprinters get through on their consistency throughout the Grand Prix series in which Gillick amassed 64 points in the 400m and Hession 54 in the 200m.

While Gillick will be making his debut in the finals this is Hession’s third year in a row. Two years ago he finished eighth and last year he ended up second to newcomer, Stephane Buckland (Mauritius).
