Well done Mo

 

Great Britain's Mo Farah has completed a historic 'triple-double' by winning 5,000m gold at the World Championships.

Farah, who won the 5,000m and 10,000m double at the 2012 Olympics and 2013 World Championships, had already won the 10,000m title in Beijing.

The race started at a slow pace until Caleb Ndiku took the lead with two laps to go.

But Farah, 32, stayed on the 22-year-old Kenyan's shoulder and sprinted clear in the final 100 metres.

The Briton crossed the line in 13 minutes 50.38 seconds, running his final lap in a fast 52.6secs.

Commonwealth champion Ndiku was 1.37secs behind Farah, with Ethiopia's Hagos Gebrhiwet in third.

It is Farah's seventh successive world title and a record third at 5,000m.
