Comments on social media body-shaming Britain 's Commonwealth 10,000 m champion Eilish McColgan are "demeaning and abusive", says her mother Liz .

Scot Eileish posted a video on Saturday showing her running on a treadmill.

Some viewers questioned if the 34-year-old had an eating disorder in the video.

Her mother Liz replied to that post, saying: "Stop the jealousy and abuse of women athletes".
