Mo Farah Breaks 60 in the Great North Run!!! Great race, Sprint finish between Mo and Kigen.

Mo denies any shenanigans.

“If it wasn’t for how high he thinks of me, he could have really had a go at one point.” When asked whether Kigen had slowed at any point to let him catch up, Farah laughed and simply responded: “No.”

That 1500m makes it Mo's best event time wise. No doubt.

But he has better chances at winning the 5000m and especially the 10,000m due to weaker competition and how the races are run. Which plays right into his strengths. So he sticks to that.

His theoretical "best" event for a fast time is probably the 3000m like a lot of people has speculated.

Going to a weaker event because your chances of medaling are higher but when your best time is in a different event is dodging the competition.

At Mo's level, "best time" is not the main objective.

So you prefer finishing 2nd place in a DL meet in a great time to winning 5 global titles?

Ah I see you are just a troll purposely misinterpreting what I'm writing. What so you get out of trolling like this?
