Mo Farah wins his last 10000 metres Gold

Australia’s Patrick Tiernan was disappointing with his run, mucking up his pacing and blowing up late in the race to finish at the rear of the field.

“It’s been incredible to go into such a good group”, she said.

However, he recovered his poise to cross the line in 26:49.51 – the fastest time in the world this year.

Joshua Cheptegei of Uganda won silver with a time of 26 mins 49.94 secs while Kenya’s Paul Tanui took bronze after clocking in at 26 mins 50.60 secs.

Farah celebrates winning gold with his son, Hussein.

“Yeah, I definitely agree with them, they know what they’re doing”, he said, after being told commentators Steve Cram and Brendan Foster said it was his greatest performance. “I work on everything and it’s been a long journey”.

“It’s been hard but I’m just mentally strong I guess”.

The morning after the toughest, roughest and gutsiest race of his life, Sir Mo Farah calmly revealed the ruthless streak that has turned him into Britain’s most successful athlete.

Neither did the fact that the evening’s best drama – and biggest cheers – belonged not to him, but to British distance runner Mo Farah, who got tripped and almost jostled off the track twice on the last lap but still came away with his third straight world title at 10,000 meters. The distance runner said he believed in his sprinting abilities that once again has worked in his favour. “It helped a lot having that experience”, Farah said. He also won the 5,000m in 2011 after coming second in the 10,000. “From that fall actually, I did hurt my leg”. “I’ve got enough days”, Farah said, as quoted by the BBC. “It felt like me against the whole world”.

Best ever: Mo Farah wins his 10th consecutive gold medal. He is halfway there in London. After all, he fell at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and still won. Viren is the only other man to do so twice, in 1972 and 1976, while Zatopek added the marathon for a unique treble in 1952.

He embarked on a lap of honour with his four children and hardly anyone left until he received the gold medal from compatriot Sebastian Coe, head of the ruling body IAAF.

Katharine Merry is running the Great North Run in September as a Duracell Bunny pacer. No heats, no qualifiers, so all the pressure is on Farah to deliver and get the World Championships off to an explosive start.

Farah whose final major track race will be the 5,000m with the heat on Wednesday described the 10,000m as the “difficult race” in his career. I don’t want to limit myself.

Still, though, he has only done half the job with the 5,000 metres to come next week and the prospect of completing a fifth straight 5,000/10,000 distance double in global championships.

Brit Mo Farah is confident of overcoming the leg injury suffered when he retained his 10,000m title.

This may go down as Farah’s greatest success. If you look in my diary from then, big difference.
