Scots olympic champ Laura Muir has raked in almost £1million from track success

Laura Muir has raked in almost £1million from her track success.

The 28-year-old won silver in the women’s 1500m at the Tokyo ­Olympics last month and set a new British record.

The qualified vet, from Milnathort, Kinross-shire, will soon see her income soar higher, with ­sponsors keen to sign her up.

But latest accounts for her company, Laura Muir Running Limited, show she has already made a fortune from her eight-year professional career.

The firm declared total assets of £878,313 for 2020 – up almost £100,000 from the previous year.

The company owed creditors £93,519, leaving Laura with shareholder funds of £784,794. In 2019, shareholder funds were £588,536.

Laura is the sole director and owns all of the shares.

The accounts also show she received almost £60,000 in dividends last year.

The athlete has swapped her running shoes for a period costume to star in a new Muller yoghurt advert.
