British distance great Mo Farah is determined to enjoy his final London Marathon as he eyes the end of a brilliant career.
Farah, a four-time Olympic champion on the track, announced in January that 2023 would be his final year as a top-flight athlete.
Victory on the streets of London has eluded Farah, the 5,000 and 10,000 metres champion on the track at the 2012 London and 2016 Rio Games, and it would be a major shock were he to win on Sunday."After that I will do a couple more races, it hasn't been announced yet and I will not announce it yet but in terms of marathons, this is it."
"The key thing is to make the most of it, enjoy it and I am sure the crowd will make a big difference for me on Sunday.Amos Kipruto, the reigning London men's champion, paid tribute to Farah. Current world champion Tamirat Tola recalled running with Farah at the 2016 Rio Games, where the Briton claimed gold as the Ethiopian finished third in the 10,000 metres."Maybe on Sunday he will run together with us and we will stay together. I hope for him."
