Welcome to the world of David Gillick
David studied at Dublin Institute of Technology before moving to Loughborough to train as a full time athlete with coach Nick Dakin in October 2006. Gillick specializes in the 400 metres and won the European Indoor Championship in 2005 and 2007. He set the Irish Indoor record of 45.52 seconds in the 2007 final. The time also beat the Irish outdoor record of 45.58 and was within the Olympic 'A' qualifying standard for the 2008 Games.

David first ran for Ireland at the European Athletics U23 Championships in 2003, however it was not a successful international debut for him. At the 2004 IAAF World Indoor Championships David won a bronze medal as part of the Irish 4x400 metres relay team (along with Robert Daly, David McCarthy and Gary Ryan). Despite improving his personal best, he did not qualify for the 2004 Summer Olympics.
