Laura Muir insists she is in medal shape to take on the greatest 1500m runner in the history of the sport.
Britain’s Olympic silver medalist tonight lines up alongside Faith Kipyegon admitting she is “the greatest in the history of the sport - and getting faster”.
But she says: “I’m also getting faster. You have to be in 3.54/3.55 shape to medal and I’m very close.” Muir ran her fastest time of the year to come through her semi-final and, when asked if her rivals are now scared of her, smiled: “They know I’m around.”
