• Paul Tanui finishes third
• Mo Farah wins his sixth World Championship Gold

Kenya's Paul Tanui has said Britain's Mo Farah deserved the 10,000m victory at the IAAF World Athletics Championships at Olympic Stadium in London on Friday night.

Tanui, who struck his third bronze medal at the worlds, said the Briton was simply too strong to be beaten. "It's good I won bronze. Mo Farah was strong. I was not in my perfect form and never had the confidence. The tactics were okay and I am happy to be consistent in major races."
