David Gillick is European Athlete of the Month

Thursday, 18 March 2010

European Athletics had announced that Ireland's David Gillick has been voted as the European Athlete of the Month for February.

Gillick, a two-time European indoor 400m champion, started the indoor season in brilliant fashion by equalling his own two-year-old national 400m record of 45.52 at the UK Grand Prix in Birmingham.

The 26-year-old remains the fastest European over the distance this season.

Elvan Abeylegesse picked up the women's award, after a sparkling half marathon debut clocking a course record and world-leading time of 1:07:07 in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE.
