Olympic hero Mo Farrah passed out during New York Half Marathon after finishing in second place. The father of three, who later said that he doesn’t remember collapsing, fell awkwardly around the six-mile mark and went on to completely collapse after he reached the finish line. Medical staff rushed to help him and he was tended to by his wife Tania.

Interviewed afterwards, Farah said: 'I feel good.

'I don't remember passing out, but I think it was just I tried so hard in the race, obviously, taking a fall and then going through.

'I just tried so hard in the race. It's not a big deal.

'When I fell, I fell pretty hard. I told myself "don't rush" but when I saw the gap, the gap was big.

'Conditions here today were very cold. London won't be as cold as this.

'It would have been nice to win today, but he (Geoffrey Mutai) is a good athlete. Nothing changes for London - I will just keep training.'
