Laura Weightman eyeing future success

Team England's Laura Weightman wants to build on her success at the Commonwealth Games after winning silver in the 1,500m with coach Steve Cram.

Team England's Laura Weightman is eyeing more success on the track in the future after winning the silver medal in the 1,500m at the Commonwealth Games.

The 23-year-old finished just behind Kenya's Faith Kibiegon, and Weightman now believes that her partnership with Steve Cram has a lot of potential for her going forward.

She told BBC Sport: "My coach Steve Cram told me that if I came off the track, wherever I finished, knowing I'd given everything then I could be happy. I'm glad I gave it everything I could.

"I'm not sure how Steve copes with the emotions and the pressures of coaching me then commentating on me! But hopefully this is the start of things for us."

Weightman's medal win was her first in a senior competition.
