MO Farah faces tough examination in London Marathon

The warm temperatures expected won't ruffle Farah -- although those 'fun runners' who are planning to dress up as a knight and Paddington Bear have been advised to have a rethink over the sagacity of donning those outfits


Mo Farah
British track legend Mo Farah had few peers in distance championship running but he may find a few better than him on the road in tomorrow's London Marathon. The 35-year-old -- who achieved the Olympic double of 5000/10000 metres champion twice -- couldn't hope for a better send off in his second tilt at his home marathon than for Queen Elizabeth II due to press the start button from a specially erected podium at Windsor Castle. However, with the likes of Kenya's Olympic champion and two-time London Marathon winner Eliud Kipchoge, Ethiopian legend Kenenisa Bekele and Kenyan defending champion Daniel Wanjiru in the field Farah will have his work cut out to make an impression.
