Vet Laura Muir takes bronze at World Athletics Championships
Dr Muir had previously come close to winning a world medal.
The University of Glasgow graduate has claimed Britian's first medal. 

Scottish vet Laura Muir has scooped a bronze medal in the 1500m at the World Athletics Championships in Oregon. 

Dr Muir nearly missed out on a medal in each of the previous three world finals, but in an incredibly rapid race, she ran a season-best time of three minutes, 55.28 seconds.

Two-time Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon clamed gold, while Ethiopia's Gudaf Tsegay secured silver. 

Dr Muir, who is an Olympic silver-medallist - had previously came close to winning a world medal after placing fifth, fourth, and fifth once again in her previous three competitions. 

Speaking to BBC Sport, she said: "It was all about the medal - I took my time but I am so happy I got it. This time last year I did not have any global outdoor medals and now I have two. 

“This was the one that was really bugging me. After I got the Olympic silver I was like 'this is the year, I am going to get it' and I have. I am so pleased."

Despite having little confidence when she first came in Oregon, the University of Glasgow graduate established herself with a good semi-final performance earlier this week. 

Her win also marks the first medal for Great Britain in the championships.
