Laura MUIR - Great Britain & N.I. - Fourth in 2017 World Championships 1500m final.
In a very close finish to the women's 1,500 metres final, the medals were decided
almost on the finish line. Half a second separated the first four, but for Laura
Muir one tenth of a second lost her the bronze medal, to fast finishing 800 metres
Champion Caster Semenya.

Three days later Laura qualified for the final of the women's 5,000 metres (14:59.34),
which was to take place on the last day of the Championships. Having won both the 1,500m
and 3,000m at that year's European Indoors Championships there were grounds to believe
she could challenge for a medal in the longer event. However, despite recording a new personal best
Laura had to settle for 6th place behind five African runners.
