Odds are stacked against Mo farah in the 5000m. He only has the 7th fastest time overall in the field. There is again a field of ethiopians and kenyans. But if he can do it he will be only the 7th man in history to successfully pull of the 5000m/10000m double
"The Ethiopians will try to set up Gebremeskel, to give the 22-year-old the best chance of winning. At the world championships in Daegu last year he took bronze behind Farah, but since then he has run the fifth-quickest time in history."
