Butchart feels unlucky to miss out on medal after busy track season
Bullish Andrew Butchart believes his gruelling track season was worthy of a medal after suffering another near-miss in Munich. The Stirling star finished ninth in Tuesday's 5000m at the multi-sport European Championships after being unable to translate his searing start into long-awaited silverware. Ad Butchart, 30, came flying out of the traps to exploit an early gap but was reeled in by world champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen with the finish line looming, who set a punishing final pace to grab more major glory.
