On the track, he generally competes over 5000 m and 10,000 m, but also runs the 3000 metres and occasionally the 1500 metres. He made his marathon debut in 2014 in London, placing eighth, and setting a new English record of 2 hours, 8 minutes, 21 seconds. Farah holds the European record holder for the 1500 m, 10,000 m and two miles, the British indoor record in the 3000 m, the British record holder for the 5000 m and half marathon, and the European indoor record holder for 5000 m. In July 2010, he won Britain's first-ever men's European Championships gold medal at 10,000 m. Farah followed this with a gold in the 5000 m, becoming the first British man to do so. At the 2011 World Championships in Athletics, he won silver in the 10,000 m and gold in the 5000 m. He became double Olympic champion at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, taking gold in both the 5000 and 10,000 metres.
