With better practice and training he could Do much much better, and get us a medal.

[GoldCoast]

Although he isn't running for Somalia Mo Farah finished 3rd in his semi heat for the 5000 m and will compete in the final tommmorow. He's an oustside medal contender, so if he gets lucky he might be able to get some hardware.

[Paragon]

^Mo Farah has improved alot, I'd say. I thought yesterday's run was just a warm up for him, and a way of not wasting energy for the finals after tomorrow. I think he can do alot better this time around.

 

Nin-yaaban, waa runtaa. Our runner most probably went to the Athletics out of his own personal will and determination to give it a shot, but like you said, with better practice and training, he can put himself in a medal position. Good luck to him and us too.

Everyone else is contending for Silver and Bronze. There is super human running with them,by the name of Kenenisa Bekele(or Bakeyla,as my friend calls him).
