Mo Farah hints at coming out of retirement

by April 24th, 2019

Four-time Olympic champion Mo Farah has hinted that he may come out of retirement from track events and compete at Tokyo 2020.

The 36  year old Farah, quit in 2017 to concentrate on road races, and will compete in Sunday’s London Marathon.

He won gold in the 5,000metres and 10,000metres at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics.

Said “If I was capable of getting an Olympic medal no matter what colour it is, would you turn it down? If I am capable then why not?”

In an interview with Steve Cram, he said: “It would be nice to have another one.

“I have no regrets with what I have done but I don’t want to look back one day and think, ‘that year, I was fit, perhaps I should have gone to the Olympics, maybe I could have won a medal’.”

Farah hinted in March that he may return to the track for September’s World Championships in Qatar.

He said on Wednesday: “If everything goes well for me, why not?”
