Redemption for Reekie as she settles for silver

- Mark Wood

HELL & BACK

JEMMA REEKIE claimed it was "good but not good enough" despite bouncing back from hell to score silver on the final night of the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow.

The Scot, who turns 26 on Wednesday, helped herself to an early birthday present with a time of 2mins 2.72secs in the 800m, but she could not overhaul Tsige Duguma off the closing bend.

The Ethiopian, right, took a shock victory with a bold run at the front but it was redemption for the home favourite after near-misses and personal heartache.

Twelve months ago she was broken in body and mind. An ugly split from ex-coach Andy Young during a training camp in South Africa tore her apart.
