The 28-year-old Scot, who has come close in a succession of world and Olympic finals without making the podium, hit the bell on the shoulder of Kipyegon and world champion Sifan Hassan. Her time of three minutes 54.50 seconds is an improvement on Muir's own 2016 British record of 3:55.22. "That last 100 metres I don't think I've ever been so scared in my life that someone was going to come past me and I would drop to fourth. I just tried my absolute hardest in that last stretch."Hassan's bronze medal marks the end of an attempt at an extraordinary, unprecedented distance treble, which also features the 5,000m, in which she has secured gold, and the 10,000m, the final of which is on Saturday.
Congratulations Laura, well done 👏
