Mo Farah says goodbye in Zurich; Diamond League preview
Shalane Flanagan gets Olympic silver medal, 9 years laterMo Farah‘s last track race is lined up to be one of his most difficult.
Farah, who swept the 5000m and 10,000m at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, is moving to road racing and marathons after this season.
The Somalian-born Brit’s decorated track career ends Thursday, at the first of two Diamond League finals meets in Zurich.
NBC Sports Gold coverage begins at 12:30 p.m. ET and continues through NBCSN coverage from 2-4 p.m.
It is by no means a coronation for Farah. He races the 5000m, the event he lost at the world championships in London two weeks ago. The man who beat him at worlds, Ethiopian Muktar Edris, is in the Zurich field.
