Mo Farah: ‘No way to describe’ double Olympic gold


“I’ll speak to my coach and plan it out from now. I’ve got a great team, so I won’t rush into it.”

He also credited the training regime imposed by coach Alberto Salazar in bringing him to his peak in London.

“I’ve been working out in the winter over 120 miles a week, week in, week out, so there were days when I got up and I was tired,” said Farah.

“But when you have a vision and you have a dream, you dig in more. I’m just excited, these two medals mean a lot to me.”

Farah is one of five Britons to win two golds at these Games, equalling the hauls of track cyclists Charlotte Dujardin.

Farah also believes Britain’s achievements at these Games can “inspire a new generation”.

He added: “I’m sure there are youngsters out there who have seen us and want to become an athlete.

“There are a lot of youngsters who we can inspire. As long as we work on that, I’m sure that we can bring them through.”

Farah took 5,000m gold on Saturday by holding off Ethiopia’s Dejen Gebremeskel to win in 13 minutes 41.66 seconds, with Kenya’s Thomas Longosiwa claiming bronze.

In the process, Farah added his name to the group of illustrious names who have won the 5,000m and 10,000m at the same Games.
