The 22-year-old world bronze medallist showed devastating speed down the home straight to outlast Hodgkinson, winning in one minute 57.07 seconds.Muir will have another shot at glory in Sunday's 1500m final. But there was still plenty of sting left in her legs and, as Hodgkinson and Muir attempted to crank up the pressure 200 metres from home, Moraa tracked them and found a gear beyond either.

Other than American Olympic and world champion Athing Mu, Moraa is the only athlete to have beaten Hodgkinson over 800m this year.

VERY VERY PROUD OF YOU MY LAST BORN DAUGHTER. LET'S GO OLYMPICS. THE SKY IS THE L . . . . FOR YOU.

Absolute superstar Mary. We salute you. And also the amazing Laura. Who was so close and can also deliver a calf. 🌟

Laura Muir didn’t deserve that bronze.

Congratulations girl,you really have a talent!the tactic worked well watu waache kuotea wakenya !

So desperate are the BBC to show a black athlete actually win something they construe white U.K. athletes coming second/third to the black foreign runner. How perverse are the BBC 🤔

Congratulations.
