Mo Farah Wins Men's 5000m Gold - London 2012 Olympics

📲 Want to watch live sport and original documentaries for free? Check out our website: oly.ch/WatchLiveSport
Team GB's Mo Farah adds the 5000m gold medal to his 10,000m gold in the Olympic Stadium at the London 2012 Olympic Games (11 August).
Ethiopia's Dejen Gebremeskel won the silver medal in the event with Kenya's Thomas Pkemei Longosiwa taking bronze.
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men.

[@laurenbell4284]

anaerobic respiration is the release of a relatively small amount of energy in cells by the breakdown of food substances in the absence of oxygen, it has nothing to do with being stored and 5k athletes would be using aerobic respiration. The reason the athletes who are at the top have such good br is due to their fitness as most would be classed as in a term called bradycardia. Also that they have been training at high altitude which mo farah does the barometric pressure causes them to develop more red blood cells which are needed to supply the muscles with oxygen during races.

500m out Mo tells his training partner to hold his line to block. Gallen can' t manage to do it so Mo has to go it alone. He wants to dominate the inside kerb, no one can pass him. The last 400m he is challenged by them all, he kicks ands speeds up 4 or 5 times. He breaks them down one by one and kicks one last time 50m out. He broke their hearts and will, the others ran as teams and had plans in place to nullify Mo. This was one of the greatest distance performances of all time. Home olympics, pressure, duress and stress, remember also that he had just won the 10k! A excellent performance, the last lap of 52sec and then 5 secs to recover at the end and breathe normally again!!! Brilliant and beautiful in equal measure, a true masterpiece👏👏👏👏

If you can find them on You Tube then, well done. If you would like to watch someones output from a mobile phone in the stadium, then I know this is available on YT. Here, a director is contractually obliged to broadcast as much of the action from the stadium as possible. The fact that another event was in progress at the same time as the 5000 metres is not unusual due to the packed schedule of track and field events held in the stadium. If you do find the entire 5000m final on You Tube, without interruptions from the High Jump, let me know - and I'll guarantee it'll be in 240p with advertising every 2 minutes. So, take your pick.

[@devinbristow765]

Xisean Anthony Mo Farah is the distance king. He has done all events 1500m and up, and has done exceptional in all of them throughout his professional career. Look at any other athlete's personal record, and compare their's with his, and I guarantee you there's no way you either passed him by tenth's of seconds, you stood close to him but never caught him. He can literally do them all. He could've won the 1500m in the olympics if he actually wanted to.

[@Anzomax2]

Devin Bristow How old are you??? Do remember Kenenisa Bekele from Ethiopia at all. He also won the 5K 10K double in 08, and the 10k gold and 5k silver in 04 plus a lot of World Championships. Also check how his cross-country resume.

[@devinbristow765]

He has the world record the 5K, but I wouldn't bet my money on someone who hasn't ran a dream mile yet. Mo Farah can beat him in the 1500, mile, 800, 3200, 10k, and he finished at 2:08 his first marathon. You bring to me one man with a record and good time. I bring to a man who brings to the table numerous records, and better times. Xisean Anthony

[@Anzomax2]

Devin Bristow Go look at Bekele resume again. And he's also the WR holder for the 10k along with the 5k. Also check out his IAAF World Championships, and Cross Country resume. I have nothing against Mo Farsh, but to say he's the best distance runner off all time when Kenenisa Bekele has just as much or probably more credentials then him is hilairous. Like I said earlier Mo is the best right Now, but not the best of all time Yet.

[@teekay3983]

Oh my. The pressure of running in front of your home crowd. Then the cheers throughout he race must be nerve wrecking. That last lap race was a staggering with that noise. Always a thrill re-watching this race... great competitors and Mo Farah now a legend of the game!

Something in East-African genetics. Not sure what exactly, but there's something.

[@crippledcrusader1321]

That last lap and 200 meters was the most intense 600 meters in any race I’ve seen. The difference you see in the runners before they start the last lap (16:25) to when you are going into the last lap (16:31) is insane.

My wife and I were also there positioned behind the closing straight. Our voices were hoarse from shouting "GO MO". An amazing experience to be there to witness this memorable performance from Sir Mo!

That sprint for the finish though.Many people dream of running a flat out 400m like they did in that last lap!

[@Millennial_Mike]

Mo Farah gave this race EVERYTHING . Perfection

[@ia9554]

I remember watching this live and me and my brother literally fell off the couch watching the last lap because it got so tense when they all got so close to each other. The both screaming “come on Mo!” While still on the floor.

[@danielfarrugia945]

The slow pace at the beginning really played into Mo's hands. Someone needed to really challenge early to stretch him out. He's so explosive on the last lap that he's nearly impossible to beat in this situation. Nevertheless, awesome run!

[@scottamon8908]

It took me 25 minutes to run 5 km, and these athletes run it in half of my time. LOL
