Mo Farah wins 5,000m gold at the World Athletics Championships in Russia to become a double world and Olympic champion.

Mo Farah has won 5,000m gold at the World Athletics Championships in Russia to become a double world and Olympic champion.

The 30-year-old posted a time of 13 minutes and 26.99 seconds as he edged out Ethiopia's Hagos Gebrhiwet in a tense final. Meanwhile, bronze went to Kenyan Isiah Koech.

"I never thought in my career I would achieve something like this," Farah told BBC Sport. "This was very tough - it was all left to the last two laps. I had a lot of pressure but at the same time I enjoy it.

"I am very proud to represent my country and hold the Union Jack. To all the people who give me great support I can't thank you enough. Thank you to all the people back home - I am very proud."

Farah, who won gold in the 10,000m event six days ago, is only the second man in history to complete an Olympic and world 'double-double' in the distance events.
