Mo Farah won the 5,000m gold in Beijing to claim his 'triple-double' and further cement his legacy as one of the greats of long-distance running.
The 32-year-old Farah secured his second gold of the World Athletics Championships having already triumphed in the 10,000m – the first time back-to-back doubles has been achieved. Farah also claimed the double at the 2012 Olympics, with Saturday’s victory earning him a triple-double and marking out a stunning period of dominance in his dual disciplines.
It was a slow race which suited Farah nicely and he was second heading into the final lap. He overtook Caleb Ndiku of Kenya on the home straight and crossed the line for a time of 13:50.38. Ndiku took silver and bronze went to Ethiopia's Hagos Gebrhiwet.
