Laura Muir missed out on her Olympic podium target as GB star Georgia Bell stole her thunder by grabbing a sensational 1500m bronze.But the Scot insists she couldn’t have done more as she turned her attention to Los Angeles - and making a fourth Olympics in a row.
Muir, a silver medallist in Tokyo, finished fifth despite posting a personal best and a new Scottish record of 3.53.37. Bell though produced the race of her life to shave an astonishing four seconds off her pb to edge into the bronze medal position with just a few metres to go.On a night where records dropped like beads of sweat in the stifling Paris heat, Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon made it three Olympic titles in a row with a new Games best time of 3.51.29.
