Irish runner takes second at Golden League meeting behind Britain’s Laura Muir
Mageean promptly moved on to her heals, looking to get past down the backstretch, only this time Muir wasn’t letting up. Nelly Chepchirchir from Kenya took third in 3:56.93, the top nine all going sub-four.
Last year in Brussels, Muir had to settle for second, Mageean’s time on that night of 3:56.63 breaking the four-minute barrier for the first time, taking over two seconds off the then previous Irish 1,500m record belonging to Sonia O’Sullivan, the 3:58.85 she ran in Monte Carlo way back in 1995. The previous mark here had stood to Hicham El Guerrouj for the last 24 years, the Moroccan multiple world-record holder running 4:44.79 in Berlin back in 1999.
