Muir stated her intention to be "as strong as possible" for major competitions leading up to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. This decision marks a strategic shift in her racing calendar, prioritizing endurance events. Muir previously won gold in the 1500m at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games. She also secured a silver medal in the 1500m at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The 5,000m race is scheduled for August 7th.
