AFP, Beijing :
Briton Mo Farah defended his 10,000m title at the world championships on Saturday to capture a record sixth consecutive global title.
The 32-year-old Farah clocked 27min 01.13sec for gold ahead of Kenyans Geoffrey Kamworor (27:01.76) and Paul Tanui (27.02.83). Since losing to Ibrahim Jeilan in the 10,000m at the 2011 worlds in Daegu, Farah rebounded to win the 5000m in South Korea, and followed up with 5000m-10,000m doubles at both the London 2012 Olympics and the 2013 world championships in Moscow.
He will have a chance to make it seven straight major titles in the 5000m, scheduled for next Saturday.
