Great Britain's Eilish McColgan qualifies for the women's 5,000m final at the Rio Olympics, four years after failing to make the steeplechase final at London 2012.

Great Britain middle-distance runner Eilish McColgan has qualified for the women's 5,000m final at the Rio Olympics.

The 25-year-old finished fifth in her heat in 15 minutes 18.20 seconds in a race won by Ethiopia's 10,000m champion Almaz Ayana, who clocked 15:04.36.

McColgan, who competed in the 3,000m steeplechase in London 2012, told BBC Sport: "I'm over the moon, I wanted it so badly. There is no pressure on me now, I couldn't be happier."

Fellow Team GB runners Steph Twell and Laura Whittle, however, missed out on the final.
