Athletics Britain's Rutherford withdraws from world indoor championships
Jamaica's athletes had their first training session at the Arena Birmingham this morning (Jamaica time) ahead of today's start of the World Indoor Championships here. Muir thrives indoors and is fully recovered from the stress fracture which hampered preparations for London.
It briefly appeared that the medal would be an even brighter colour, but having reeled in Hassan, the 1500m indoors world champion, she was beaten by the tiniest of margins on the line.
"It was a tactical race and I controlled all my competitors". "I don't feel too much pressure but hopefully I can put on a show and work the crowd, that would be nice". I couldn't be happier.
"I don't quite know what went wrong to be honest", said a disappointed McColgan. There will be no Greg Rutherford, however, who has made a decision to miss the event as the long-jumper continues to recover from groin and ankle injuries despite winning the British indoor title last weekend.
After an uneventful first kilometer which was covered in a pedestrian 3:14.67, noted front-runner Konstanze Klosterhalfen -who broke the 30-year-old German indoor record with a solo effort of 8:36.01 at her domestic championships in Dortmund two weeks ago- was the first of the 14 finalists to move to the front with any objective.
Johnson-Thompson stands a better chance of winning gold in the absence of Belgium's Olympic heptathlon champion Nafi Thiam.
Additional stand-out performers could be the USA's Javianne Oliver, who leads the world rankings with 7.02 set at altitude, South Africa's Carina Horn who has registered a 7.09 national record this year and Asha Philip of Great Britain - the European indoor champion, who - with a 7.12 best this campaign - will be hoping the home support can spur her to improve upon her 2014 fourth and 2016 fifth place finishes.

Is John Kelly's White House Job 'Punishment From God'?
Kelly's mission ever since has been to bring a semblance of order to a normally freewheeling, chaotic White House . At least, he will be if short-lived White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has his way.
Indeed, she is only competing in Birmingham after managing to secure two days off from her latest stint at the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
"I covered the move but at the same time I raced smart and came away with a medal which was the main thing", she said. "I am so disappointed with that today, with it being a home championships, I wanted to be competitive and today I wasn't".
"I'm surprised at how well I balance veterinary and track. I knew I could be strong at the end so I'm very pleased". That's why I wasn't definite about doing the double initially. Last year indoors I made the top three for the 600m and this year I came in first. I think it will take something special.
Muir is missing the Commonwealth Games to concentrate on her exams.
"It means so much to me to get the win; it bodes well for the rest of the year, especially the Europeans".
From an global perspective the focus will be on Christian Coleman, the American sprinter hailed by many as a potential successor to Usain Bolt after breaking the 20-year-old indoor 60m world record in February.
