Mo Farah targets more medals after World Championship gold
Last Updated: 23/08/15 12:37pm
Mo Farah says he is only concerned on winning more medals for Britain after claiming gold in the 10,000m at the World Championships in Beijing.
The 32-year-old was in sensational form on Saturday, sealing Britain's first gold of the championships as he came home in a time of 27 minutes 01.13 seconds.
Amid all the off-track distractions regarding coach Alberto Salazar, Farah retained complete focus as he burst away from the Kenyan challenge of Geoffrey Kipsang Kamworor - who almost tripped him at the start of the final lap - and Paul Tanui down the home straight.
Doping allegations surrounding Salazar, which emerged earlier this summer, threatened to disrupt Farah's preparations ahead of the showpiece in China.
But following victory, Farah insists his focus has, and will always be, on matters on the track.
"It has been very difficult, but I managed to take myself away and base myself in a training camp where I could just eat, sleep, train and do the right things," Farah told Sky Sports News HQ.
"As an athlete, I love what I am doing. I love running and enjoy what I am doing every day. It's important to let your running do the talking rather than try and do something else. Somethings in life we are not in control of, but I am in control of my running.
"It hasn't been easy, but as an athlete you have got to do the right things. Congratulations to Seb Coe who has been given the presidency of IAAF and it is going to change a lot. We are doing the right thing and for me, I have always said I would always do the right thing."
When asked about the future of Salazar as his coach, Farah added: "I am not sure exactly. As an athlete you can just concentrate on yourself and I have answered everything. It has been a long year, but I just have to keep doing what I am doing - winning medals for my country. I know the most important thing is that when I go out, I give 110 per cent and that's all you can do."
