• Muir: ‘I think we’re very close to being on par’
Laura Muir has been the undisputed queen of British middle distance for years. But after falling short in a world record attempt over 1,000m at the Emirates Arena here in Glasgow she admitted a cold, hard truth: she now shares her throne with her young training partner Jemma Reekie.
On a day when Mondo Duplantis broke the world pole vault record for the second time in a week, the 21-year-old Reekie again showed off her devastating kick, emerging from the pack to zoom past the former world indoor silver medalist Dawit Seyaum in the final 20 metres to win the 1500m.
