Reekie hoping she is through low point in career
Jemma Reekie believes she has finally battled through the lowest point of her career after bringing a gruelling summer of athletics to an end in Munich. The Kilbarchan middle distance star has endured a torrid year both on and off the track after struggling with glandular fever and failing to qualify for both the World Championship or Commonwealth Games finals in her preferred 800m event. Ad But Reekie, who narrowly missed out on an Olympic medal in Tokyo last summer, defied her initial instincts to compete at this week's European Championships to finish a brave fifth in last night's 800m final as teammate Keely Hodgkinson won gold.
