Christopher Baillie (born 21 April 1981) is a Scottish hurdler from Old Kilpatrick, most noted for his silver medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in the 110 metre hurdles.
He was educated at Clydebank High School. [1] He is the younger brother of the late Ross Baillie who was also a hurdler. [2]
Baillie won a gold medal in the 110-metre hurdles at the 1999 European Athletics Junior Championships in Riga, competing for Great Britain and finishing a dead heat with Spain's Felipe Vivancos. [3] He won bronze at the 2001 European Athletics U23 Championships in Amsterdam. [4]
Baillie now after retiring late in 2014 has taken up a more coaching side of things when it comes to athletics, basing himself in the West coast of Scotland at Scotstoun Stadium, home ground of his previous club Victoria Park Athletic.
