Two-time Olympic 10,000m champion Mo Farah will make a last-gasp attempt to qualify for the Tokyo Games at the British athletics championships in Manchester on June 25. The British runner, 38, is yet to hit the qualifying standard for the distance after a failed attempt earlier this month in Birmingham, where he was hampered by an ankle injury. He needs to beat a time of 27m, 28s to stand a chance of defending his crown at the Olympics.
