Eilish McColgan followed up her 10,000 metres Commonwealth title with European silver as she finished second behind Turkey’s Yasemin Can in Munich.
The Scot got the better of Israel’s Lonah Chemtai Salpeter towards the end but could not catch Can, crossing the line 8.48 seconds behind in a time of 30mins 41.05secs.
McColgan was seeking further glory after securing a first major title with her gold earlier this month at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, where she also claimed 5,000m silver.
The 31-year-old told BBC Sport: “I’m pleased. I’m obviously disappointed – I would have loved to have become European champion tonight.
