adminNEW YORK. — Britain’s double Olympic and world 10 000m and 5 000m champion Mo Farah insisted on Sunday his fall and frightening collapse after the New York City Half Marathon was “no big deal”. The Somali-born star took a hard fall some five miles into the race. He made a gritty recovery to finish second behind Geoffrey Mutai, who won in 1hr 00min 50sec. Farah collapsed after the finish line and left in a wheelchair. He made it to the post-race press conference, however, and said he felt good, if a little cloudy on just what happened.
“I don’t remember passing out, but I think it was, just I tried so hard in the race, obviously, taking a fall and then going through. I’m all right. It’s fine. It’s no big deal,” he said. — AFP.
