Mohamed Katir and Stewart McSweyn have had another awesome battle at the 2021 Muller British Grand Prix. Just days ago Katir just beat McSweyn over 1500m in Monaco, now he has won again in England. The fast finishing Spaniard is in the process of re-writing the Spanish record books. In Monaco his 3:28.76 broke Fermin Cacho's 1500m record. Cacho won the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, with similar finishing kicks, it wouldn't shock to see history repeat. Katir's winning time in Gatehead of 7:27.64 is a meet record and takes him to number 15 on the all-time rankings list.
