Vet Laura Muir takes bronze at World Athletics Championships
Dr Muir had previously come close to winning a world 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.
The RCVS has announced a new version of its 1CPD mobile app, with enhanced features for veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses to record their continuing professional development.
