Farah smashes record

MO FARAH smashed the British record to win yesterday’s Bupa London 10,000 road race.

The 26-year-old crossed the line in 27:50, knocking five seconds off the 25-year-old record of Mark Scruton, to easily beat Samuel Kosgei and Sergiy Lebid.

The Kenyan runner-up, who won the ‘World’s Best 10 kilometre race’ in Puerto Rico in March, clocked 28:03 with Ukraine’s Lebid, an eight-time European cross country champion, finishing in 28:36.
