British middle-distance star Laura Muir will be looking to land her first global outdoor medal in the 1500m at the 2019 World Athletics Championships in Doha.
The Scot missed out on a medal by 0.07 seconds when finishing an agonising fourth at the last world championships in London two years ago.
Since then, Muir has won two world indoor medals, taking silver over 1500m and bronze over 3000m in Birmingham in 2018, before defending her European indoor titles over the same distances in Glasgow earlier this year.
The British record holder has chosen to focus solely on the 1500m in Doha, with the 3000m not run at major outdoor championships, but has not raced since winning at the London Diamond League in mid-July because of a calf injury.
Despite missing a huge chunk of the season, she arrives in Qatar ranked number three in the world, and has already had her medal hopes boosted by the withdrawal of Ethiopian world record holder Genzebe Dibaba because of an injury.
World leader, and new mile world record holder, Sifan Hassan, who is expected to run in the 10,000m on the opening weekend, will make a late decision on whether to double with the 1500m or the 5000m, meaning Muir could even go in as the top ranked athlete.
