'Super Mo' makes history with 'triple double' in distance runs

Mo Farah became the first man to win back-to-back world distance doubles when he stormed to 5,000 meters victory at Beijing's Bird's Nest stadium on Saturday.

The Briton, rocked this season by doping allegations against his coach, put the row behind him as he produced a devastating final 80 meters to romp home in 13 min, 50.38 sec.

Kenyan Caleb Ndiku, in 13: 51.75, held on for silver after making a valiant break with 800m to run. Ethiopian Hagos Gebrhiwet took bronze.
