Super Muir storms to another double

Laura Muir sealed a second successive European Indoors double, while Shelayna Oskan-Clarke won gold in the 800m on a successful final day in Glasgow.

Scotland’s 3,000m champion Muir dominated the 1500m final to repeat her achievement of Belgrade two years ago.

Oskan-Clarke (pictured) led from the start to take the 800m title.

It was a gutsy display as she held off a challenge from France’s Renelle Lamote.

There were also silver medals for Britain’s Jamie Webb in the 800m, Holly Bradshaw in the pole vault, Tim Duckworth in the heptathlon and the women’s 4x400m quartet.

Muir was in awesome form, racing clear of her rivals as she gradually raised the pace.

The 25-year-old finished in four minutes 05.92 seconds. Poland’s Sofia Ennaoui was almost four seconds behind, while Ireland’s Ciara Mageean took bronze.

Muir said: “I’m so relieved. I set myself a big test this weekend - there was a lot of pressure.

“So much hard work goes into it. It’s day after day [of training] and on this track. There’s a huge support network behind me.

“It’s so special [to win in Glasgow]. To be on my home track is surreal.

“I’ll have a little bit of a break in March. I’ve then got two or three months of solid training before coming back in June. After that it’s the World Championships in Doha.”

The win for OskanClarke was all the sweeter after she missed out on gold by one hundredth of a second two years ago.

“I decided I wanted to focus on going out from the front,” she said.

“After Belgrade, I knew I was strong and knew I had more to give in those races. I had to make the right moves at the right time.”
