Mick Mac Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Farah added the 5,000m to his 10,000m title at the World Championships - a feat he also achieved at the London Olympics in 2012 and the 2013 Worlds.Foster said: "Mo is the greatest sportsman that Britain has ever had.""We have had so many legends and to be in the same category as them is amazing," Farah responded.
