LONDON (GBR): Mo Farah has supported the decision to push the Olympic Games to 2021, informs AFP. “The Olympics was about the last thing to get cancelled. In a way obviously it’s disappointing it has been cancelled but I am glad it has been cancelled. In a way we could have been in a far worse situation, there are no races leading up to it, athletes can’t test themselves. I would probably need about six, seven, eight races beforehand to see what kind of shape I am in,” explained Farah. “It is what it is and it gives us another year of preparation,” he said.
