Mo Farah went some way to banishing his Beijing blues by winning the Great North Mile in Newcastle.
Farah showed an impressive turn of pace to cross the line in 4min 12sec and admitted that he was still struggling to come to terms with his failure to reach the 5,000m final at the Olympics.
Mo is Mohamed for short and there is nothing wrong with that. Britain's lack of depth in middle and long distance appalled many and Mo didnt do well in Beijing as he was the only athlete in the long distance. He was very disappointed and ran a very poor race but BBC pundit and 1976 Olympic bronze medalist at 10,000m Brendan Foster made a scathing attack on UK Athletics and said "they must take examples from other sports such as sailing, rowing, and cycling".
In 2012, London will host the iconic games. UK Athletics has only four years to make Britain proud again.
We've got nobody in the men's 10,000m, we are relying on Dan Robinson in the marathon, Andy Baddeley was ninth in the 1500m, we haven't got anyone in the steeplechase.
I would love to see Somali athletes in all categories represeting Somalia in the Olympics. I witnessed a SOmali girl competing in the 100m in 04 and I thougth she did GREAT, no medals but she did AWSOME.
Someone needs to invest in these young Somali kids, start a athletic school or something.
Teddington's British international Mo Farah has qualified for the men's 3,000m final at the World Indoor Athletic Championships 2008 in Valencia, Spain, after finishing third in his heat in a time of eight minutes 4.65 seconds.
Mo farah was excellent today winning the 3km Road Race in Newcastle, beating Kenya's Kipchoge. Farah biding his time until 150 metres from the finish line, stormed past Kenya's 2003 World gold and 2007 World silver 5000m track medallist Eliud Kipchoge to claim victory in a time of 7:56.3. Well done Mo farah.
People were interested even though I come from Britain. They said why didn't I run for Somaliland, but they were still proud of me. I couldn't live there now though, I'm used to Western life.'Anna

Athletics: Farah makes world top 10 as Bekele wilts in the heat

Published: 26 March 2007
Britain's Mo Farah produced arguably his finest performance in Mombasa on Saturday, finishing 10th in the World Cross Country Championships in stifling conditions which caused Kenenisa Bekele, seeking a record sixth individual win, to pull out of the race with just 800 metres remaining.
Mo Farah's 10th place finish and a host of good British performances at the World Cross-Country Championships in Mombasa have been hailed as "inspirational" by the head of distance running at UK Athletics

Mo Farah will refuse to use a recent illness or spate of injuries as an excuse if he fails to perform well at Saturday's World Cross-Country Championships in Mombasa.
Farah has forgotten about the fall he had in his 3,000 metres heat at the European Championships three weeks ago - a slip which ruined his hopes of winning the gold medal in Birmingham.
MO FARAH has allayed the considerable fears that he was set to be a high profile absentee from this weekend's World Cross Country Championships by returning to full training following his recent ailments.
The Newham & Essex Beagles star was not only feeling the after-effects of his troublesome tilt at the European indoor 3000m title in which he injured his hip and calf in a fall but he was also suffering from a virus.
European cross-country champion Mo Farah is determined to lead the Great Britain team at next weekend's World Cross-Country Championships despite injury and illness setbacks.
