Commonwealth champion McColgan admits emotional hangover after claiming European silver
Eilish McColgan admits the emotional hangover of her memorable Commonwealth Games scuppered her hopes of landing more major glory at the multi-sport European Championships in Munich. The Scottish athlete, 31, was dramatically crowned 10,000m champion in Birmingham earlier this month and followed it up with European silver behind Turkish star Yasemin Can on Monday night. Ad McColgan, whose mum Liz won two Commonwealth Games titles over the same distance in 1986 and 1990, clocked a time of 30:41.05 to finish just over eight seconds behind Can and ahead of Lonah Chemtai Salpeter in third.
