Mo Farah has cruised to victory in the Birmingham Diamond League's 3,000m event, breaking Dave Moorcroft's 34-year-old British record in the process.
The 33-year-old collected his sixth British outdoor mark by clocking seven minutes 32.62 seconds at the Alexander Stadium, wiping out Moorcroft's time of seven minutes 32.79 seconds from 1982.
A year ago, the double Olympic champion pulled out on the eve of the event as doping allegations - which have been denied - were aimed at Alberto Salazar, his coach.
On Sunday, however, he followed the pacemakers through the first 2,000m before hanging on over the last 600m to take a tenth of a second off Moorcroft's long-standing mark.
Farah now holds the British record for the 1,500m, 3,000m, two miles, 5,000m, 10,000m and half-marathon, as well as four indoor national records.
