Muir to be presented with 2015 European Indoors bronze

Great Britain's Laura Muir will be presented with her retrospective 2015 European Athletics Indoor Championships bronze medal this weekend.

The Scot was 21 when she finished fourth in the 3,000m in Prague, but was upgraded to bronze in January after race winner Yelena Korobkina of Russia was found guilty of doping offences.

Now 31, Muir will receive her medal at the Lindsays Short Course cross-country event at Kirkcaldy on Saturday.

"I cannot emphasise or explain how much it means to the athletes to have the results rectified and the medals awarded to those who compete within the rules of our sport," said Muir.

"So I am very excited to see that particular European Indoors 2015 medal at Kirkcaldy and it will have a proud place alongside my other sporting accomplishments."

Sviatlana Kudzelich of Belarus has had her silver medal upgraded to gold and Netherlands' Maureen Koster takes silver.

Korobkina was banned for four years from September 2023, and had her results between July 2013 and July 2016 expunged after being found guilty of doping last year.
