Britain's Mo Farah has completed a historic 'triple-double' after 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, has already won the 10,000m title in Beijing. Congrats to him!
After a slow opening kilometre, Tom Farrell came to the front and slowly started to build the pace, while Farah stayed at the back of the field biding him time. With seven laps to go, Farah started to move up through the field with the pace increasing, with Imane Merga taking over at the front ahead of the defending champion.
Farah finally moved to the front with 1600m remaining, resulting in the Ethiopians and Kenyans attempting to get towards the front, before Commonwealth champion Caleb Ndiku tried to break from the pack. Ndiku held on for silver, while Ethiopia's Hagos Gebrhiwet completed the podium, finishing just in front of teammate Yomif Kejelcha.
