Scottish athlete Laura Muir won the 1500m event at the Kamila Skolimowska Memorial meet in Chorzow, Poland – a World Continental Tour Gold athletics event.
Muir set a meet record with her 3:58.24 performance. She dropped the pace hard over the final lap and left second-place finisher Sofia Ennaoui back in second at her home meet.
The 27-year-old European champion also raced two sub-four-minute performances, back-to-back at the Stockholm and Monaco Diamond League meets in August.
