Athletics: Mo Farah opts to take a break
Farah, who struck gold for Great Britain in the 5,000m and 10,000m in Barcelona, is going to rest up instead of representing England in Delhi in October. Somalian-born Farah, 27, said: "I had a great 2010 season and my body is telling me that it is time to take a break from training and racing. I have been competing since the start of the year and feel that I need a few weeks off now to let my body recover so that I can start winter training fit and healthy.
"Over the past few weeks I have been getting a few niggles, nothing serious but enough to tell me to ease back. I was looking forward to the Commonwealth Games in Delhi but after the success I had this year I am happy to call it a season."
