One week after Rio, Laura Muir beat Olympic champion Kenya's Faith Kipyegon in Paris's Diamond League meet - and broke the British record for the 1500m.
Muir finished a disappointing seventh in the Olympic final - but she rebounded brilliantly to record a stunning time of 3:55.22 in Paris.
And she did it in style.
Unsurprisingly, her achievement was met with delight and congratulations across the athletics world.
Muir was the previous record-holder, running 3:57.49 in July to break Dame Kelly Holmes's time of 3:57.90, set in Athens 2004.
