Easy gold for Laura Muir

Sifan Hassan should run the 1500m and then after about a 25 minute rest come back and torch the field in the 5000m. She would make history if she could win all three.
On Dutch TV she said after the race that she really wants to do the 1500m and still needed to have a chat with her coach, who wanted her to do the 5000. Not sure if that chat had already concluded.
iaaf site appears to confirm that she's running the 5000
