UK Athletics head coach Charles van Commenee believes 5000m world champion Mo Farah is "a complete athlete". Farah, 28, won Saturday's 1500m event in Glasgow after outsprinting Augustine Choge – the fastest man in the world over the distance indoors in 2011.

"In the 2011 World Championships 10km, he was taken by surprise but he is warned now – he's a complete athlete," said Van Commenee.

"Mo at the moment is the number one, but there are a few who can take over."
Farah had only arrived back in Britain two days before the race.
