That is it from me in a sad end to day one of the British Championships as Mo Farah fails to qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games.

If you missed Farah's race, you can catch up on what happened in Mike Henson's report here.

We will be back tomorrow at around 15:00 BST, with the men's and women's 100m finals taking place at 18:25 and 18:35. See you then.

Former athlete and stadium interviewer Iwan Thomas asked Farah if this could be the last time we see him on the track.

"It's a tough one," Farah replied.

"If I can't compete with the best I'm not just going there to finish in a final. Tonight shows it's not good enough."

"It was quite windy," continued Farah.

"I tried to push and push. I knew I was on my own.

"It was amazing to have a crowd once more. That's all you can do as a human being: you give it your all.

"I've been lucky enough to have had the long career I've had. I'm very grateful but that's all I had today."

"Thank you for everyone who's come out," said Farah.

"Oh my goodness. I don't know what to say. You go out there and give it your all."

Mo Farah has a microphone in hand, we're going to hear from him...

Farah eventually makes his way off the track, taking the time to greet a couple more fans in the stands.

It will be of very little consolation, but his time of 27:47.04 is a stadium record at Manchester Regional Arena.

Mo Farah still claps and waves to the crowd, then walks round the outside of the track to greet the fans.

Considering what has just happened, that is so impressive.

That is that.

Mo Farah gave it his absolute all on the last lap, which is so impressive given how little chance he had of making the time.

The reigning Olympic champion needed to finish in under 27:28. Farah's final time is 27:47.04.

This is not happening. Mo Farah grimaces. He must know, but being Mo Farah he will not give up.

He takes the bell on 26:40.52 and has to finish in under 27:28.

Mo Farah has given British Athletics some incredible moments.

If he can manage to turn this around in the last three laps, it will be another one for the ages.

He's got two laps to go and has less than two minutes to finish them.

Farah has won 10,000m gold at the last two Olympics. It is looking like he won't even make it to the startline this time.

There are three laps to go and he has three minutes to complete them. That is so, so tough.

Farah's face is betraying the slightest hint of pain as he completes a lap.

His training partner Bashir Abdi is screaming at him. He makes it through 8,000m in 22:10.69 and that is a scary 10 seconds too slow.

Can he find something for the last burst running alone?

Farah is still looking strong. There's no sign of that ankle injury which blighted his chances in Birmingham.

With six laps to go, he crosses the line in 21:03. That is still too slow if he's going to finish in under the required 27:28.

Mo Farah is used to racing. Playing tactical chess as part of a pack.

This is very different and he has fallen very slightly off schedule. He's five seconds off the pace as he comes through 7,000m in 19:20.45.

Bye bye Bashir Abdi.

He's gone, leaving Mo Farah with nine laps to go on his own. This is surely going to be so tough, but the crowd up the volume. They know they'll be needed here.

Abdi and Farah, in their matching outfits with neon yellow bands on their arms, lap poor old Finn McNally.

They are still in the hunt for the 27:28 qualifying time. The pair get through 6km in 16:30.80. That's bang on target.

David McNeil is gone. Every time a pacemaker steps aside it feels like the intensity steps up.

There are 12 laps to go and the clock hits 14:15. Bashir Abdi has hit the qualifying time before so he should have Mo Farah's back here.

Farah has pulled away with his pair of helpers now.

Farah's group are pulling away now. There are six of them in all.

Pacemaker David McNeil, Bashir Abdi, Mo Farah, Zerei Kbrom, Felix Bour and Nekagenet Crippa are up there.

McNeil is setting the pace - 11:07 after 4km - with training partner Abdi just in front of Farah. They've sped up in the last 2km.

That time should be fine to make it across the line in the required 27:28.

In case you missed the memo, Mo Farah needs to finish this 10,000m in under 27 minutes and 28 seconds to book his place at next month's Tokyo Olympics.

Australian Ryan Gregson steps off the front, his pace-making duties are done.

Compatriot David McNeil takes over. He's wearing gloves. This is the Mancunian summer David, welcome.

Through 3km and it's all looking good pace-wise.
