Athletics Ireland announce team for European Indoor Championships
Athletics Ireland has named a team of 13 to compete at this year’s European Indoor Championships, which take place this weekend in Birmingham.
The team includes 2005 European Indoor Champions David Gillick and Alistair Cragg. Gillick, who took the gold in the 400m in Madrid two years ago, has just recovered from flu which prevented him from taking part in the Irish indoors last weekend. Paul Hession who recently broke the Irish 60m record is also included. Derval O’Rourke is absent from the squad as she opted out to concentrate on the outdoor season.
