EILIDH DOYLE admitted she ran out of steam after missing out on the season-ending Diamond Race title last night in Brussels.

The Scot, 29, slumped to fifth place in the 400 metres hurdles at the final Diamond League meeting of the summer, allowing American rival to steal the £25,000 bonus and the overall title by taking victory ahead of Olympic silver medallist Sara Petersen.

“It was one too many race,” said Doyle, who was runner up in the standings for the second time in three years. “After a really consistent season, this one killed me. In the last 50 metres I had nothing left in the tank. I tried to focus on the race, but I felt I was losing both the race and the Diamond League. Too bad.”

Tate ended up ten points clear with only her second win of 2016. “This kind of makes up for not being at the Olympics. It´s a great way to end the season."

Elsewhere, Olympic finalist Eilish McColgan was 13th in the 5000m in a personal best of 15:05.00 with fellow Scot Steph Twell four places behind. The pair will face Laura Muir over one mile in today’s Great CityGames in Newcastle.
