Muller Anniversary Games 2017: Mo Farah Win Highlights Sunday Athletics Results

Mo Farah won the 3000 metres at the 2017 Muller Anniversary Games in London on Sunday, as the long-distance superstar performed in the capital as he winds down his incredible career.

The four-time Olympic champion returned to the scene of his greatest achievements, running for the crowd at the London Stadium over seven-and-a-half laps as he clocked seven minutes, 35.15 seconds.

Farah was his usual calm self as he settled into the race, claiming second place from the gun.

Great Britain team-mate Andrew Butchard was the perfect pacemaker for the knight of the realm, going off fast as he stretched the field.

Farah appeared in excellent condition before his final attempt at major championship glory, and his dominance was evident as he passed Butchard with 600 metres remaining.

The legend was followed by Spaniard Adel Mechaal over the final lap, and it seemed the 1500-metre specialist could challenge in the final sprint.

However, Farah kicked for home with 150 metres to go, and the result was never in doubt as the London crowd gave their hero a rapturous reception.   

Team GB highlighted the winning effort:

In other results, CJ Ujah recorded a season's best as he won the 100 metres in 10.02 seconds. The Brit has run sub-10 seconds in the past and is threatening to beat the mark once again.

Kerron Clement showed excellent form as he was victorious in the 400-metre men's hurdles. The American Olympic gold medalist clocked 48.02 as he cruised around the track, pipping Kyron McMaster in the final moments.

Reigning world champion Aries Merritt won a scrappy race in the 110-metre men's hurdles as he fights his way back to his best after recent injury.

Laura Muir was disappointed in the women's one mile as Hellen Obiri sprinted past her in the final stages to win the race.

The British ace was chasing the national record in the event but came up short as the Kenyan turned on the afterburner.

Farah might be about to hang up his running spikes, but he is still the best middle-distance runner in operation.

The British star has no equal when it comes to his discipline, and Team GB will find it impossible to replace his influence once he retires after the World Championships in London.
