MO GOES HOME DELIGHTED! / Mo Farah is the greatest ever

Goat of dope

Forgot about Dre

What a finish.

I was sitting there pretty bummed no one was running fast until that final lap and then I was amazed with it.

I could not believe that final 100m.

PEDs or not, nothing can give a guy guts like that.

He is the GOAT of effort. Indisputable.

I loved that race. A great way for Farah to go out. But you don't think Edris gave equal effort? He went sprawling to the track.

Cheptegui of Uganda and Kamworor, Tanui, Muchiri of Kenya, Kejelcha and Barega of Ethiopia all combined to help Edris of Ethiopa win a global gold medal ahead of the better athlete.

That's what it took to beat Mo.

Did it take that much work to wrestle a gold from Bekele or Gebreselssie?

I think the debate has been settled: Mo Farah is the GOAT!

Good to get the final win to round out his track career.

We'll see how he does in the marathon.

What were the 400 splits for the last 4 laps? Asking for a friend.

Yeah, it took Hicham El Guerrouj to beat Bekele.....and after that, he never really lost until being injured for almost 2 years after 2009 and trying to comeback in 2011 unsuccefully

mo farah is ONE of the greatest runners.After mo leaves, i can only see Ethopians dominating the 5k and the Kenyas dominating the 10k.Chelimo is a wild card for me so could be upset for the ethopians.

I think Chelimo actually had the most speed the last 100m but didn't have room and therefore just tried to push through

He is the poster child of doping. Good riddance.

And he won that race only because of the others' bad tactics. Yomif Kejelcha hanging on his side on the back stretch making Muktar Edris go wide, only to cut in front of Yomif. These two lost the race there. Chelimo leaving it for too late as usual... It's time Farah leaves the track, he would not make it another year.

As for the marathon, his PEDs seem not to work as well for this distance. Tonight might very well be Farah's last victory.

Please don't tell me about how the others dope. It's quite likely. But for Farah, it is a certainty. There's the L-Carnitine injections, and all the rest we don't know about.

Slow Mo could have Farah. You can't be a goat when you only "could have" run 8 seconds of the WR and actually ran 16 seconds of it. Now his name shall be known as Sir could have Farah

Mo delivers one last kick in the balls to the perennially butthurt LRC

Meh. He's one of the best ever, but only n00bs would think him the GOAT. No need to get your panties in a bunch.

Yes haha

Doesn't get the respect he deserves on here.

Yes he's won a lot of sit and kick races over the years which isn't always the most exciting to watch but he's also treated us to great races such as the Beijing 2015 5,000m and London 2017 10,000m. This race was another great example - 52.61 closing 400m is serious stuff off 13 min pace.

I think it's also exciting to see that there are a number of decent guys to take over. Edris, Chelimo and Kejelcha should keep the 5,000m exciting for years to come.
