2023 伦敦马拉松

莫法拉 人生最后一场职业马拉松比赛

20-Apr) -- Four-time Olympic gold medalist Mo Farah said today that Sunday's TCS London Marathon will be his last race at the distance. Farah, who turned 40 last month and had to pull out of London when the race was held off-cycle last October due to the pandemic, hasn't completed a marathon in nearly four years.

"Sunday is probably going to be my last marathon," Farah somberly told reporters today at a press conference in London. "Just being realistic." He continued: "It won't be my last race, but in terms of marathon the London Marathon will be my last."

Farah spoke about how difficult it has been for him to maintain his overall health and fitness over the last several years and how he has had to modify his training to accommodate his aging body. He had high hopes for last October's London race, but ended up scratching out with a hip injury only a week and a half before the race. In his last start at London where he was entered as a bonafide competitor in 2019 --he acted as a pacemaker in 2020-- Farah finished fifth overall in 2:05:39, the fastest time out of his three London finishes. He's relatively optimistic about Sunday, he said.
