I got a bit emotional at the start – Mo Farah (GBR)

"It was amazing tonight, I had to get my head around it. I got a bit emotional at the start and then I just had to get in the zone. It has all been amazing.

"On encouraging the crowd:
"I just wanted to play with the guy's head. It wasn't an easy race though. It has been a long journey where I have worked very hard on long distance but also speed.

"But what a way to end my career in London. This was very special.

"I knew at 12 laps to go when they went hard from there I knew it was going to be tough. It was about believing in my sprint finish and knowing that I have been in that position before. It helped a lot having that experience.

"That was a special moment for me. I miss spending time with them (my family). To have my family on the track is very special.

"Anything is possible if you train hard."
