Holly Archer wins 1,500m silver after successful appeal
Holly Archer secured a silver medal for Great Britain at the European Indoor Athletics Championships in ToruĊ, Poland, after finishing second in the 1,500m, but only after she had successfully appealed after initially being disqualified.
Archer finished the strongest in a scrappy race won by Belgium's Elise Vanderelst, with several episodes of pushing and shoving.
Archer said: "It's crazy. I came here to do a job and it's job done. Last time I came to European Indoors I got fourth so I had to upgrade that.
"I'm really happy. I got a bit boxed in, so I got a bit worried for a second. I knew I could do it. I just dug in and I'm really glad."
