Mo Farah through to 5,000m final

Great Britain's Mo Farah qualifies for the 5,000m final at the World Championships.

Great Britain's Mo Farah has qualified for the 5,000m final at the World Championships in Moscow.

The double Olympic champion needed to finish in a top-five position to progress through to the final, and he cruised home in fifth place to make Friday's final.

The 30-year-old told BBC Sport: "I just had to get the job comfortably done. The body feels good, the rest of the team has been looking after me.

"It would mean a lot to me to be double champion and hopefully I can make my country proud."

Farah was competing just three days after winning gold in the 10,000m.
