Laura Muir 's coach Andy Young has called for an overhaul of the New Year's Honours list, describing it as 'very structurally wrong'. Young's criticism came after he called out the omission of a number of Britain’s leading female track and field stars.
The coach highlighted the likes of Dina Asher-Smith and Katarina Johnson-Thompson as well as Muir as key athletes who have been overlooked from the list. Muir herself enjoyed another succesful year out on the track, but was one again left off the list.
Her snubbing comes after both Asher-Smith and Johnson-Thompson had previously missed out, despite both winning world championship golds back in 2019.
