No he didn't.
Ha ha! Even the article you posted states he Nick Rose's 1984 record. Mo Farah had nothing to do with it - that was your FAKE NEWS!!
* broke Nick Rose's 1984 record
Did he or did he not put 12 seconds on Mo Farah's time?
How relevant this information is doesn't make it fake.

Ha ha, you've got to be kidding! You put a headline "Breaks European 10k record" followed directly by "just beat Farah's time by 12 seconds"!! Mo's time is utterly irrelevant but stupidly tying the two together is very clearly text book FAKE NEWS!
Anyway Rose's time is not recognized as a record because of the non-elligible course. But whatever
Dude, you're pulling my leg aren't you? I posted a link to European Athletics website's Records page above which lists Rose, as did the article YOU posted!! ?
Next time, just think before regurgitating click-bait crap about Sir Mo and getting your "facts" from Wikipedia! But whatever...
Great run by Wanders!
Hoping he gets the European 20k and half marathon records next.

Oh yes he did!!
Farah had the official 27:44 Euro record.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_records_in_athleticsWhat's interesting is that the road 10k record was so weak.
I guess so is the marathon and half marathon in that case...

Doesn't matter you dolt. There was still obviously a way in which Farah had the record due to certain bodies not allowing Rose's time. Now that is completely cleared up. You won't see Rose's or Farah's name anywhere in the European 10k records.
Let's have REAL TALK about why certain people thought Farah is the best runner in Europe, let alone a GOAT.
His speed is definitely not there. Can't do better than Wanders' 27:32.
WIKI updated already.
Pretty sure Rose's ER was unofficial since it was run on a point-to-point course... Could be wrong about that though
Here are his pr's. Wanders is still only 22. He ran his 800 and 1k pr's at 17.

He should be able to go well under 60 in the half now. This was 34 seconds ahead of his 10k track best from 2017.
Farah's half record is safe until next year, I would think, and Farah might well take the time down to around 59 flat, but the kid's got a shot next year if Mo doesn't do it.
