Laura Muir awarded bronze medal nine years after race
At the time, Dr Muir missed out on the podium.
Scottish athlete and veterinary surgeon Laura Muir has been retrospectively awarded a bronze medal for the Women’s 3000m at the 2015 European Indoor Championships.
Although Dr Muir finished fourth, winner Yelena Korobkina has been found guilty of doping offences and her results from July 2013 to July 2016 have been expunged.
Dr Muir told Scottish Athletics: “Missing out on that special moment, especially as I was not on the podium on the night, was very difficult. But, looking back, it made me more determined than ever to ensure the same outcome didn’t happen for future championships. Which luckily has been the case!”
