Britain's Laura Muir follows up her Rio 2016 disappointment by smashing her own 1500m world record by two seconds to claim victory in the Diamond League meeting in Paris.

Laura Muir has set a new British record in the women's 1500m to claim victory at the Diamond League meeting in Paris.

The 23-year-old finished in 3:55.22 to break her own record for the second time in five weeks by more than two seconds.

Muir's time is also the fastest in the world for 2016, coming 10 days after the Scotswoman failed to claim a medal in the event at Rio 2016.

Olympic champion Faith Chepngetich Kipyegon finished second in a time of 3:56.72 in the French capital, while elsewhere there was a record for Bahrain's Ruth Jebet - another gold medallist at the 2016 Games - as she ran 8:52.78 in the 3,000m steeplechase.
