adminchamp in the 2012 Summer Olympics, won the New Orleans Rock ‘n’ Roll half-marathon in record time which earned him a live interview with local WSDU television reporter LaTonya Norton.
“Now haven’t you run before?” asked Norton, who also confused the half-marathon with the marathon. “Haven’t you run before? This isn’t your first time.”
Farah grinned and said he had competed in half-marathons previously but this was his first appearance in New Orleans.
The good-natured Somali-born Farah modestly made no mention in the Sunday interview – which provoked a spate of internet chatter – of his London gold medal heroics. Farah won the race in a British national record time of 61 minutes, also a record for the course. arah recently announced he would run just half of this year’s London Marathon before attempting the full course in 2014. – AFP.
