Justin Gatlin being booed in London.

Huge crowd in. They love their athletics in GB.

Messy heat this one.

The GOAT takes his place on the blocks.

One purple and one gold spike.

A 10.08 jog.

Effortless.

The improvement in Farah when he changed coach and moved to Project Oregon was unreal.

2 young Ethiopians in race tonight have run faster this year. it’s going to be a belter. The standard these lads operate at is off the charts

I reckon Mo will finish out of the medals.

Sir Mohammed Farah about to begin his pursuit of a 5th Olympics/World Championship distance double.

Hadis 42/1 worth a punt

Kamworor or Tanui I would have thought most likely to topple Farah.

Quick 1st km.
This could be a cracker

Yeah I backed Kamworor at 5/1. Put a small bet on Hadis for a bit of value

They are going after him early.

65 second 400

Have the BBC a contingency plan if Farrah doesn’t win? Has Eddie made a voiceover montage for that?

Knocking out 65/66s 400ms. Through 3000m

They need to go a bit faster next few laps

Pace dropping. 67 second lap. Mo moves to the front.

Mo playing with 'em.

Africans have stopped cooperating. Kamworor will have to drive it on himself now to win it.

I’d be confident too if I was juiced out of me box
