Gillick ‘gutted’ at final fifth
The Irishman said he was gutted and he was not the only one in that situation as he found himself just .05 secs away from a medal yet the records will show that he only finished fifth in 45.24 secs.
Borlee, 45.08, was a clear if not emphatic winner but an arm’s length separated the next four runners and the raging hot favourite, Kevin Borlee’s more fancied brother, Jonathan, who set a new Belgian record record at 44.71 secs in the semi-finals was at the tail end of that rush to the line in 45.35 secs.
