Laura set a new British record by running three minutes 54.50.
Scottish vet Laura Muir has won a silver medal in the women’s 1,500m at the Tokyo Olympics.
Laura broke her own British record by running three minutes 54.50 on Friday (6 August), finishing behind Faith Kipyegon from Kenya, who claimed gold. Sifan Hassan from the Netherlands won bronze.
The incredible achievement comes after a number of near competition misses, including the Rio Olympics, where she finished seventh in the 1,500m, and the 2017 World Championships, where she came fourth.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Muir said: “I don’t know what to say. I’ve worked so hard for so long. I’ve been fourth, fifth twice, sixth and seventh at global champs every year since 2015. With everything going on last year and not knowing whether it would go ahead, I’ve got a silver and a British record as well."
