​Gillespie ends season on high at Masters

​Competing in the shot put, multi-event thrower Gillespie was up against athletes who specialise in that discipline.

He said: “The large majority of the field only train and take part in the shot put all year round, so for multi-event throwers that have to train for five different events, these championships can be difficult to make an impact in.

"However, this year I placed higher than ever before when throwing 8.75m for seventh place in the UK, I'll take that any day of the week!

"This indoor season has been my best for a number of years and I will be going into the outdoor season with a real sense of determination. However, before that I’ll be back to some very heavy lifting in the gym, analysis of my technique across the five events and loads of throwing.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”
