Farah doesn’t rule out return to track

SIR Mo Farah has refused to rule out an Olympic title defence at Tokyo 2020.

The four-time Olympic champion will run in next year’s London Marathon, having given up the track last year to focus on the road. Farah hinted previously he would consider a comeback, although his main focus until April remains the marathon.

But the 35-year-old, who defended his 5,000 and 10,000 metres titles at the Rio Olympics two years ago, has now dropped the biggest hint yet he could race on the track in Tokyo.

“Yes, there is a chance. There is always a chance if everything is going well,” he said. “You wouldn’t turn anything down. I want to collect as many medals as I can and do it for my country.”
