Kinross-shire runner secures her spot for Team GB at the Rio Olympics
A Kinross-shire runner secured her spot for Team GB at the Rio Olympics last night.
Laura Muir from Milnathort set a new British record for the 1,500m at the Anniversary Games in Glasgow last night, taking the title from Dame Kelly Homes.
The 23-year-old recorded a time of 3min 57.49 seconds to beat the time of 3min 57.90 seconds Holmes set in winning gold at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
She took to social media to thank her supporters last night:
She’ll now use her summer break from studying veterinary medicine at the University of Glasgow to make the trip to Rio for the Olympic Games.
