World Athletics: Farah completes the 'Double Double' as lightning Bolt strikes again

MO FARAH added another two medals to his bulging collection in Moscow while Usain Bolt became the most decorated world champion of all time.

Team GB great Farah repeated his feat of winning the 5,000 and 10,000 metres double - thus achieving a brilliant Double Double following his two gold medals in the same races at the London 2012 Olympics.

His home wins, of course, resulted in the Mobot celebration and produced a sporting memory which will most likely stay with us all as he took gold on successive Saturday nights.

If anything, though, the World Championships in Moscow were even tougher for Farah with fewer days between his races added to the fact that he was very much now a marked man.

But, on both occasions in the Russian capital, Farah got himself in his favourite position at the front of the pack and sped for home.

As usual, his opponents were destroyed by the manoeuvre and it is a fact that Farah has now won his last five major championship races.

Is he the greatest British athlete of all time? Well, I have seen no one better myself, certainly no one look so calm and assured when the pressure is really on.

Another athlete excellent at dealing with the big moments is Christine Ohuruogu, undoubtedly the other big British success in Moscow.

The silver medallist from London 2012 always seems to raise her game for the big competitions - and, at the Luzhniki, she regained her 400 metres world title, which she originally won in Osaka in 2007.

Ohuruogu thus became the first ever British woman to win two world crowns, and this time she did it in style - pipping Amantle Montsho by 0.004 seconds, and beating Kathy Cook's long-standing national record with a time of 49.41s.

Ohuruogu also anchored Team GB to bronze in the 4x400m relay, a result which the women's 4x100m relay team matched on the last day of competition.

And, with Tiffany Porter also winning bronze in the 100 metres hurdles, Britain achieved its minimum target of six medals to finish seventh in the table.

World Championships are not necessarily all just about the medals, though, and it will have pleased British athletics bosses to see a couple of the younger team members perform well.

Adam Gemili ran in his first major championship final, taking fifth place in the 200 metres in a time of 20.08.

The 19-year-old from London had earlier qualified by running his semi final in 19.98, the second fastest time by a Briton at that distance, after John Regis.

Meanwhile, impressing in the heptathlon in the absence of injured Olympic champion Jessica Ennis-Hill, was Liverpool Harriers youngster Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

Like Gemili, KJT also finished fifth, with a personal best points score of 6449 having set four PBs in the seven events, taking second in the 200 metres and the long jump, and third in the 800 metres. It was all progress in the right direction.

But it was a tough championships for some established British names. Greg Rutherford - famously part of the Super Saturday triumvirate at the Olympic Stadium - failed to qualify for the final rounds of the long jump after struggling with a hamstring injury.

And injuries have hit Dai Greene hard in his bid to defend his world title in the 400 metres hurdles.

The Welshman finished fourth at London 2012 after having his build-up to the Olympics disrupted by knee trouble. In Moscow, beset by an Achilles problem, he did not even reach the final.

Perhaps the biggest British disappointment, though, was once again the men's 4x100m relay team. Having finished third in the final, the team was disqualified after passing the baton outside the takeover zone on the second changeover.

Thus, the British have now failed to get the baton around properly in six of their last seven major championships. It really is a remarkably poor record, surely unequalled.

Looking elsewhere, meanwhile, the championships went largely as expected with the Jamaicans finishing third in the medal table through their domination of the sprints.

Indeed, both Bolt and his female compatriot Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce took home their maximum haul of three golds apiece, meaning Bolt has now won an incredible eight world championship gold medals on top of his six in the Olympics.

But, while Bolt has come to expect success, Fraser-Pryce perhaps did even better than predicted, taking advantage of 200 metres Olympic champion Allyson Felix pulling up on the bend.

That snapped hamstring would ultimately mean that the Americans only finished second in the medal table, behind leaders Russia for the first time since 2001.

However, some strong home success - particularly in the field events - did not translate to big attendances at the Luzhniki, save for a few notable exceptions.

The most notable of these was the big crowd who turned up to see favourite Yelena Isinbayeva take gold in the pole vault.

It was unfortunate, then, that Isinbayeva chose to use her victory to spout misguided ire at a number of visiting athletes who had decided to protest against a recent Russian law banning the "homosexual propaganda".

"We are very afraid about our nation because we consider ourselves normal, standard people," said Isinbayeva. "We just live with boys with women, women with boys.

"It comes from history," she continued. "We never had these problems in Russia, and we don't want to have any in the future."

Quite rightly, Isinbayeva's comments were widely condemned with Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) calling them "disappointing".

But the best (and cleverest) response came from BBC chief sports writer Tom Fordyce who tweeted, pointedly: "For someone who can clear 5m, Yelena appears to spend a lot of time with her head buried in the sand."

Isinbayeva has since apologised but her original remarks will not be easily forgotten in a championship marked as "a seven out of 10" by Bolt himself.

Ah yes, that man Bolt extended his legacy once more, his 100 metres triumph coming at an important time for the sport of athletics as a whole following the recent failed drug tests of Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay.

But, it was not only Bolt who was celebrating amid the Moscow thunderstorms.

Agence France Presse photographer Olivier Morin gained global recognition after capturing a perfect shot of the Jamaican storming to victory as lightning struck overhead.

Morin has admitted since that he did not anticipate just how much attention he would get - but, effectively, his photo had left the world's sub-editors with little work of their own to do. "Lightning Bolt" was a simply unavoidable pun.

It was indeed photojournalism at its very best - truly a moment of brilliance on and off the track.

Mo Farah flies to join Greene with gold

BRITAIN'S Mo Farah held off a late burst by American Bernard Lagat to claim his first ever World Championship gold medal in the 5,000m in Daegu.

Farah, who also won silver in the 10,000m this week, kept his cool and went to the front with more than a lap to go after a slow, tactical race.

The move paid dividends as he stretched out a big enough lead to hold off his competition, finishing in a time of 13 minutes 23 seconds.

Earlier this year, Farah moved to the USA to be coached by Alberto Salazar who explained this week, "We haven't worked on his springint technique at the end of a race.

"We have worked on a lot and there has been a big improvement, but I haven't yet worked on Farah's speed."

That the 28-year-old still has room to improve on his fast finish can only be frightening news for his rivals and his coach is focused on ensuring Farah is a hero of the London 2012 Olympics.

"When we've done the work, Farah will be a contender for both gold medals," added Salazar.

Indeed, Farah's gold in South Korea meant the whole of Team GB ended an up-and-down week on a high and still on track for success at the London 2012 Olympics this time next year.

Britain had to wait until day six to strike gold but Dai Greene delivered an excellent performance in the 400m hurdles.

Welshman Greene held his nerve after two false-starts to record a time of 48.26 seconds and added world gold to his victories in the European Championships and Commenwealth Games in 2010.

Greene said he was inspired by Hannah England who was celebrating with the Union Jack after she had won a surprise silver in the women's 1500m.

He said: "I saw Hannah England's performance and saw her running around with the flag, and thought I had to get a piece of that action."

But, while England's silver was an unexpected boost to the medal total, Team GB suffered its fair share of disappointments this week.

Christine Ohuruogu was disqualified after falling foul of the harsh false-start rule which claimed its biggest victim when Usain Bolt was dumped out of the 100m.

Heptathlete Jessica Ennis led her multi-event competition for most of the way but a poor javelin left her needing a miracle in the 800m to overhaul Russian Tatyana Chernova.

Sheffield-born Ennis ran a personal best in the final event but still had to settle for silver and it was a similar story on the last day of competition for Phillips Idowu.

Idowu produced a season-best performance of 17.70m and yet had to settle for second place after 21-year-old American Christian Taylor (17.96m) pipped him to the gold.

Nevertheless, adding in the controversial bronze medal won by Andy Turner - awarded after Cuban Dayron Robles was disqualified for putting China's Liu Xiang off balance - Team GB achieved their best overall performance at the World Championships since finishing 4th in Stuttgart in 1993.

Importantly, they matched the pre-competition aim of seven medals, set by head coach Charles van Commenee.

Meanwhile, Bolt recovered to retain his 200m world title in his third-fastest ever time before leading Jamaica to a new world record in the 4x100m relay, acting as anchor in a time of 37.04.

And, with still some room for improvement, British athletics can also surely look forward to their own sprinkling of success at the Olympic Stadium in Stratford 11 months from now.
