Four-time Olympic champion Mo Farah romped to victory in the 5,000m at the Prefontaine Classic Diamond League meeting here Saturday with the fastest time of the year.
The British long distance king, racing in a track meeting on US soil for the last time, produced another flawless tactical display to come home in 13min 00.70sec at Eugene’s Hayward Field in Oregon.
The 34-year-old star, who completed an unprecedented ‘double-double’ of 5,000m and 10,000m gold at last year’s Olympics in Rio, crossed ahead of Ethiopia’s Yomif Kejelcha in second and Kenya’s Geoffrey Kamworwor in third.
Farah has vowed to retire from track racing after this August’s World Championships in London.
