• Greg Rutherford bows out in pain and pride
The circus masters within British Athletics placed Laura Muir and Greg Rutherford in the centre of the ring at the Müller Anniversary Games on Sunday and asked both to pull improbable tricks out of their bags. Magic proved in short supply.
Muir was unsuccessful in her bid to make the British mile record disappear while Rutherford could not conjure up the kind of long jump performance that has long been his hallmark. Even the greatest showmen, alas, can see the spotlights dim.
