The Rio Olympics had double gold in hand, and it was still yesterday. At this moment, Farah is simply "living like a year". At the Edinburgh Trail Running Competition on 7 January, the British "king of long-distance running" finished seventh (8 km in the men's senior category) with a time of 24 minutes and 49 seconds.
The winner was American Corrill (pictured below, right), with a time of 24 minutes and 03 seconds.
"It was a really tough day, it wasn't what I wanted, but I couldn't change it." The 33-year-old Farah will face the London Athletics World Championships on his doorstep this year, and will launch a double attack on the gold medals in the 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters, but he did not expect that the season debut ended in a fiasco.
For this cross-country running competition, Farah was originally full of confidence, and even the organizing committee of the race regarded it as the "number one seed", and the number cloth issued to Farah before the race showed "Mr. Mo". (Athletics base camp label: Farah's full name is Mo Farah, Mo Farah.) ）
Speaking to the BBC after the game, Farah said: "I have a lot of work to do and it's clear that at the moment I'm behind. The previous training wasn't too good and didn't live up to my expectations. Originally, I wanted to come to this battlefield to win glory for the country, but I did not expect to achieve my wish. (Athletics base camp noted: The Edinburgh Trail Running Competition is divided into three "teams" - the British team, the American team, and the European team, and finally the team ranking.) ）
I believe that the veteran who has been in the battlefield can adjust to it, as he did not forget to say after his frustration: "I am looking forward to 2017!" ”
