DNA Athletics: Laura Muir 'devastated' as injury forces Olympian to miss event

Laura Muir says she is «devastated» after being forced to withdraw from Saturday's DNA Athletics event in Glasgow with a back injury.

The Olympic silver medallist was due to represent Scotland in the 800m in the new six-nation event.

However, the 28-year-old tweeted that she will not be running at Glasgow's Emirates Arena.

«Sadly it looks like the race has come round too early as it was still too sore to run last night,» said Muir.

Scotland take on England, Wales, Ireland, Spain and Portugal in the inaugural contest, shown live on the BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app.

The six nations, with up to 18 athletes in each team, take part in 11 events across the two-hour competition.
