Farah wins historic 5,000m final

Mo Farah won the 5,000m final at the World Athletic Championships to become only the second man ever to hold  10,000m and 5,000m world title at the same time.

He ran in a time of 13 minutes and 27 seconds to add to the medal collection that had already grown on Saturday thanks to his 10,000m triumph.

Elsewhere,  British Adam Gemili couldn't reproduce his 19.98 seconds time in the 200m final, finishing 5th in a race that Usain Bolt won comfortably, the Jamacian finishing in a time of 19.66. Still, at only 19 years old, he is one to watch in the future.
