Four-time Olympic champion Mo Farah will delay his impending track retirement by a few days to compete at the Zurich Diamond League final, organisers said on Friday. The British five-time world champion had originally been due to bow out at home in London after next month's world championships from August 4-13.
He then agreed to run the 3,000-metres at the Birmingham Diamond League event on August 20 but Zurich organisers say he will now also compete in Switzerland on August 24. "Prior to switching to longer distances and the road, Mo Farah plans to return to Zurich for a farewell appearance," said organisers in a statement. "Letzigrund Stadium is where he broke the 13-minute barrier in the men's 5,000m as the first British athlete in 2010, and it is where he was crowned double European champion four years later. "Now, he plans to bid the track farewell in the legendary arena."
