It wasn't quite the fairytale end to Mo Farah's track career that many in the London Stadium had hoped for.
A week on from winning World Championship gold in the 10,000m, the 34-year-old was beaten into second place by Ethiopia's Muktar Edris in the final of the 5,000m. The bronze medal went to Paul Chelimo of the USA, a man that had angered some watching on television with what they perceived as being a 'disrespectful' gesture before the race had started. https://twitter.com/Rbpa10/status/896458548732993538 https://twitter.com/StaceyRule/status/896457149316026368 https://twitter.com/Geoff_NUFC/status/896456414788558848 https://twitter.com/StattoWrexham/status/896455362563452930 https://twitter.com/wabarrow76/status/896451837909487616 https://twitter.com/MoutheySouthey/status/896451697760972801 https://twitter.com/Cawts67/status/896456176610750468 Farah finished in a time of 13:33.22, with Edris's time clocked at 13:32.79. Chelimo took bronze with a time of 13:33.30. The other Briton in the race, Andrew Butchart, crossed the line in eighth with a time of 13:38.73.Most Viewed in sport
