BEST OF LUCK TO LAURA WEIGHTMAN

Laura Weightman

Laura Weightman, who is competing in her second Olympics,
having finished ninth in the Women’s 1500m Final in 2012 in London,
hopes to improve on that this time round, when she competes in the same event for Team GB,
along with Scotland’s Laura Muir, who recently broke Kelly Holmes’s British Women’s 1500m record
at the Anniversary Games, held in the Queen Elizabeth II Olympic Park.

Laura begins her 1500m competition on Friday evening (12th August),
when she lines up in her first round heat.
Time of this event is 20.30 (Brazil Time),
which is 12.30am GMT on Saturday.

If she manages to qualify from this, she will then line-up in a Semi Final,
which is scheduled for Sunday evening at 21.30 (Brazil Time),
which is 1.30am GMT on Monday.

The Final of the Women’s 1500m is scheduled for Tuesday evening at 22.30 (Brazil Time),
which is 2.30am GMT on Wednesday.
Medal Ceremony for this event is 21.05 (Brazil Time) on Wednesday 17th,
