February 20, 2011
Great Britain’s Mo Farah provided the highlight of the Aviva Grand Prix meeting in Birmingham when he clocked a European indoor 5000m record of 13:10.60 on Saturday.
His time beat that of Frenchman Bob Tahri, who ran 13.11.13 last year. It was also more than 10 seconds inside Nick Rose’s 29-year-old former record of 13:21.27, which had been the 2010 European Athletics Championships 5000m and 10000m winner’s principal target at the start of the race.
