The 34-year-old, who is due to retire from the track later this month, won in 26 minutes, 49.51 seconds - the fastest time in the world this year.

Farah, the first athlete to win 10 consecutive global track events, was accompanied by his family on a lap of honour.
"It was amazing. I had to get my head around it and I got a bit emotional at the start. I had to get in the zone," he told BBC Sport.
"It wasn't an easy race. I work on everything and it's been a long journey.
"What a way to end my career in London. It's special."
He is due to compete in the 5,000 metres next week.

Trump Administration Asks Supreme Court to Let Travel Ban Take Effect

Image
The Trump administration on Thursday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the president's blocked "travel ban" order to take effect, following a defeat at an appeals court last week.

"The President is not required to admit people from countries that sponsor or shelter terrorism, until he determines that they can be pr...
