SharesNAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 12- A well executed team tact by the Ethiopian athletes in the men’s 5000m floored home boy and crowd favorite Mo Farah on his final goodbye racing on track for Great Britain as 2012 World U20 Champion Muktar Edris won gold. Kenyan-born American Paul Chelimo, Rio 2016 silver medalist came through for the bronze just dipping past Kejelcha who was fourth. It was not the script he had eagerly waited for on his final track race, more so infront of his home fans. At the home straight, Kejelcha pumped up with Edris and Barega following suit as Farah and Chelimo followed. This is the first time Farah is losing a track race at a major championship in the 5,000m since the 2008 Beijing Olympics where he was sixth in the heats.
