Great North Run: Mo Farah loses out in thrilling finish

Double world and Olympic champion Mo Farah has to settle for second place behind Ethiopia's Kenenisa Bekele in a thrilling sprint finish to the Great North Run.

Farah chased down Bekele in the final 400m to set up a nail-biting finale but Bekele was able to hold the Briton off.

Another Ethiopian, Haile Gebrselassie, was a distant third after falling behind in the last of the 13.1 miles.
