'Undisputed king' Farah wins gold in 10,000 metres-event at World Championships

British Olympic champion Mo Farah has defended his title as the 'undisputed king' of long distance running by winning gold in the 10,000-metres event in the World Championships in Moscow on Saturday.

According to the Mirror, the double Olympic champion took the lead with two laps to go despite an apparent stumble and produced his now customary final lap to defeat Ethiopian Ibrahim Jeilan, who pipped him to the crown two years ago in Daegu, in 27 minutes 21.71 seconds.

The report said that with his gold, Farah's prophecy that he will be a better athlete this time than he was at the 2012 London Olympics even though he now has a target on his back every time he raced, has come true.

According to the report, the Somali-born athlete has polished his ferocious kick, helped by the sort of speed which saw him break the European 1500m record in Monaco last month, and his finishing speed was once again in evidence here.
