Mo Farah misses qualifying time for Tokyo Olympics

Mo Farah, the Brit who swept the 5000m and 10,000m at the last two Olympics, failed to run a qualifying time for the Tokyo Games on Friday in what was likely his last chance to make the Olympic team.

Farah, 38, clocked 27:47.04 in the 10,000m at the British Olympic Trials in Manchester, missing the Olympic qualifying time of 27:28.00. The deadline to get the time is next Tuesday.

Farah was asked if it was his last career track race and answered, “That’s a tough one.”

“That’s all I had today,” Farah said in an on-track interview.
