Farah and Kiprotich eye history books

Briton Mo Farah will bid for an unprecedented six consecutive global track distance title in the 10,000m.

Farah, who came through the youth and junior ranks alongside Jamaican star sprinter Usain Bolt, has made the headlines for all the wrong reasons in recent months, with his American coach Alberto Salazar accused of violating several anti-doping rules.

Since losing to Ibrahim Jeilan in the Daegu worlds in 2011, Farah has won five global track distance titles in a row. He rebounded to win the 5,000m in Daegu, and followed up with 5,000m-10,000m doubles at the London 2012 Olympics and the 2013 world championships in Moscow.
