Gillick digging deep for more gold

DAVID GILLICK raced into history when he won the 400m title at the European indoor championships.

Never before had Ireland won two gold medals in a single day at a major championships, and one had to go back to the 1932 Olympics and Bob Tisdall’s 400m hurdles victory for a gold medal in a sprint event.

Now the 21-year-old Dubliner wants a quick double and he will be the gold medal favourite at next summer’s European under-23 championships in Germany.
