Mo FARAH - Great Britain & N.I. - 2013 Mo Farah wins the 10,000m World Championship in Moscow.

Mo Farah stands yet again on the winner's  rostrum wearing the Gold Medal as the Champion.

This time it is as the winner of the 10,000metres at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow.

He finished runner up to Jeilan in the event in 2011 in Daegu but the 2012 double Olympic Champion

Monaco, Farah broke the European 1500m record with a time of 3:28.81, at the same time becoming

the sixth fastest man ever over the distance - taking Steve Cram's 28-year-old British record.
