UK Indoor Athletics Championships: Laura Muir and Jemma Reekie win gold in Birmingham

Laura Muir claimed gold in the 3,000m at the UK Indoor Championships in Birmingham on Sunday.

The Olympic silver medallist stormed to victory in eight minutes 58.80 seconds, earning a spot at the World Indoor Championships on home soil in Glasgow.

She will be joined there in March by fellow Scot Jemma Reekie, who won the 800m final with a time of 1:58.24.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson, the double world heptathlon champion, came ninth in the shot put final.

Despite throwing an indoor personal best of 13.29m to qualify for Glasgow, Johnson-Thompson will not compete at the World Indoor Championships as she prepares for this summer's Olympics.

"I am gutted because I did European indoors in Glasgow in 2018 and I've got really good memories of it," she said.

"It's just a decision to throw everything into Paris."

Amelia Campbell won gold in the shot put, registering 17.74m in her third throw to take victory.

Olympic silver medallist Muir also has her eyes on Paris but will compete in the city where she lives.

"Paris is the main goal this year but I want to go to Glasgow and be competitive," she said.

"It's really special to be going there. To have a global championships [in Glasgow] now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Reekie, 25, set a championship record in the 800m and earned her place in Glasgow with a routine victory, finishing comfortably ahead of Isabelle Boffey in second and Erin Wallace in third.

It was a family affair in the women's 400m final as the Nielsen twins produced a top-two finish.

Laviai Nielsen secured gold with a time of 51.54 seconds, narrowly beating sister Lina, who secured an indoor personal best of 51.95.

Meanwhile, Morgan Lake claimed gold in the women's high jump by clearing 1.85m.
