Laura Muir dealt with a series of head blows as she crossed the line in Munich to successfully defend her European 1500m title. Whatever her angsts may have been, those blows were the closest she had come to facing a beating of any sort in the past two weeks.

Muir is, in fact, amassing a special body of work. This win was no surprise beyond Northern Ireland's Ciara Mageean's, who was the sole respondent to Muir's breakaway at the call and pushed the Scot hard. Mageean was once more enthralled on the final bend as the inevitable played out for the heavy favourite.
