He's a Brit isn't he?

He's too busy grafting.
Because he'll get selected anyway
Selection policy for rio means he didn't need to run. Looks like he'll be the only brit there in the 10000m, Vernon was poor.
Because he is MF Mo Farah. No need to do that stuff.
Does anyone have a link to the results?
I have no problem with Mo skipping this. He knows he'll get picked and he'd crush everyone even if he did run it. I'd much rather see him take on some real competition at the Pre Classic next week. Mo will probably win there too but there's at least a chance he could lost.
It will be easier for Mo to get lost in Oregon. Sasquatch might get him.
Look out Mobot.
Farah is afraid of Andy Vernon.

Yup. See him race Brits or some of the worlds best? Easy decision. Not to mention I'll be there so I'd like to watch the current best distance track runner. Don't get too many quality 10ks these days, especially in the US.
Who's Mo Farah?
...because that's what champions do...
That's silly... You never know what can happen in the olympic trials, even in the UK.
Many great runners who had the potential to win the olympic final in their event didn't qualify in their trials... see Komen in 1996.... or Coe in 1988 just to name a few!
Anyway... I'm not a big fan of Farah... And like Bekele said :
Cause he doesn't go to bars
Yezzzzzzzzzz.. !!!
Maybe maybe because he is the reigning double olympic , world and european champion and unless he dies b4 Rio he is locked 2 win 2 more gold olympic medals
Because that's what champions do.
Does the defending champion not just get an invite?
Would be nice of him to show up just to support British athletics, but I guess that's not his top priority.
A more sensible title would be 'what would Mo Farah gain by running the British 10,000 championships?'
I was there last night, it was a brilliant event; but what could Mo gain?
Rio Selection? He already has it
A fast time? Unlikely
A pay day? No chance, entry was free
I think we can cull this thread, it's silly.
