Athletics: Farah triumphs in IAAF indoors meet

BIRMINGHAM: Britain’s double Olympic champion Mo Farah delighted home fans by winning the 3,000 metres at the IAAF indoor meeting in Birmingham on Saturday. Farah’s success came shortly after he’d announced his plan to run just half of this year’s London Marathon before attempting the full course in 2014. Farah now plans to run in a half-marathon in New Orleans next weekend — a step up in distance after he won Saturday’s 3,000m in Birmingham in a time of seven minutes 42 seconds. “I think practice will make perfect,” said Farah. “The more practice you can do you can get it right.”
