Laura Muir has qualified for the semi-finals in the Women's 1,500m after coming second in the first heat mere seconds behind Ethiopia's Gudaf Tsegay.
Despite being ranked fourth in the world and having an impressive performance in the heats, Laura Muir remains tight-lipped about her chances of winning an Olympic medal.
She emphasizes that her current focus is solely on the upcoming 1500m semi-final.
During the heats, the Scottish athlete finished second with a time of 3:58.91 seconds, demonstrating a strong start to her Olympic campaign in Paris.
Muir had previously set a new British record in the 1500m at the Diamond League event in Paris.
As a silver medallist in the 1500m at the previous Olympics, Muir deflects questions about her potential to improve on her performance this time around.
She acknowledges the importance of concentrating on the semi-final before contemplating the final.
Muir has expressed her calmness and readiness for the competition, highlighting that she aims to enjoy the experience and maintain a relaxed mindset to deliver a strong performance.
The semi-finals take place on August 8 at 6.15pm Dundee time (7.15pm Paris time).
