• Teenage Ethiopian Samuel Tefera sets 1500m world record
No sooner had Laura Muir obliterated the 31-year-old British indoor mile record by an astonishing five seconds than she started wrapping herself up in cotton wool. She knows the biggest danger of retaining her European 1500m and 3,000m titles in Glasgow could be the February flu rather than anything on two legs. Instead of posing for selfies, as usual, her coach Andy Young, handed fans autographed photographs instead.
A smiling Muir said: “I signed 66 cards – so I hope that’s enough for everyone. I didn’t want to leave the fans without things but I’ve got to look after my own health.”
