• Dominant Scot adds 1500m gold to her win in the 3,000m
• Shelayna Oskan-Clarke takes 800m with start-to-finish victory
Laura Muir stormed into history by becoming the first athlete to achieve the double-double at a European Indoor Championships – and thereby helping the British team to a record medal haul.
The 25-year-old was a hot favourite to add the 1500m title to her 3,000m gold on Friday – repeating her success from Belgrade two years ago – and she duly obliged, leading from the gun before stretching a long way clear with 400m left and coming home in 4 min 05.91 sec. The Pole Sofia Ennaoui took silver, more than three seconds back, just pipping Ireland’s Ciara Mageean.
