W 1500m
A WORLD record in the women’s sprint hurdles and Usain Bolt running a 200m denied Laura Muir top billing on the opening night of this Diamond League. But, in Olympic terms, her performance was actually better quality than that of the Jamaican superstar.
Muir did so with a superb piece of front-running of such class that it’s hard to recall any British middle distance athlete — male or female — controlling a field in that manner.
