Lynsey Sharp crosses the finish line to take the silver medal at the 2014 European Championships in Zurich.
She crossed the line in the same position two years before but was then given the Gold medal following
a retrospective disqualification (drugs). She set a new personal best for the 800 metres (1:59.67 was her previous best
set on 3rd July 2014).
Below are images of her leading the final at the half way distance, celebrating with the Union Jack and
in action during her semi final. She also won a silver medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow
a few weeks earlier (2:01.34 behind Eunice Jepkoech Sum's 2:00.31)
