BRITISH DOUBLE Olympic champion Mo Farah made his last US track race a special one, running the year’s fastest 5 000 metres at the Prefontaine Classic Diamond League meeting on Saturday.
Farah, who will be moving up to the marathon after August’s IAAF World Championships in London, sprinted down the straight to defeat a high-quality field in 13 minutes, 00.70 seconds.
Ethiopian Yomif Kejelcha finished second in 13:01.21 and Kenyan Geoffrey Kamworwor claimed third in 13:01.35.
Olympic bronze medallist Ashley Spencer added another 2017 best with an impressive run of 53.38 seconds in the women’s 400 metres hurdles. (Reuters)
