Farah through to 5,000m final

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.
