There's disappointment for Dundee's Eilish McColgan at the Tokyo Olympics.

She's missed out on qualifying for the 5000m Olympic final after finishing 10th in her heat.

There were high hopes after McColgan broke the all-time British record in her 5000m race back in July.

Her record-breaking time of 14:28.55 raised hopes of her being a genuine medal contender at the Tokyo Games.

But it's not all lost, the 30-year-old still has the 10,000m event to go.
