Mo Farah scored his name in the pantheon of middle distance running greats Saturday when he defended his 10,000m title at the world championships in Beijing.

The Briton's victory was his sixth consecutive global track distance title, an unprecedented feat that saw him better the likes of Ethiopian legends Kenenisa Bekele and Haile Gebrselassie.
