Mo delays track finale

-

SIR Mo FARAH has decided to end his track career at the Diamond League final in Zurich next month. Farah (left), the 34-year-old four-time olympic champion, had said his last race on the track would be the 3,000m at the Birmingham Grand Prix on August 20. But having qualified for the 5,000m Diamond League final, he will now race in Zurich four days later before quitting to focus on the marathon. The Letzigrund Stadium is where he broke the 13-minute barrier in the men’s 5,000m in 2010 and where he was crowned double European champion four years later. Farah is one of 12 athletes to have qualified for the 5,000m final in Zurich. Farah is due to race in the 5,000m and 10,000m at the World Championsh­ips in London, which start next week.
