Super Farah comes of age
Mo Farah delivered on the promise he has shown this winter both in and outdoors. It started with silver in the European XC back in December, and has culminated in a gold medal in the 3000m at the European Indoor Championships today in Turin.
Speaking to the Guardian after his superb display of front running Farah said:
You know, I worked so hard for this. I fought through my life a lot, obviously having the disappointment of last year, and it’s not easy sometimes feeling that. A lot of people I haven’t seen for months at a time. It’s definitely paying off. I had to take the pressure – I never had so much pressure – but it’s all a learning experience for me.
It wasn’t easy having someone sitting on you all the way and I was tense. I was telling myself, ‘Mo, relax, keep your head up and dig in.’ I think there’s a lot more to come still, trust me.
