Viewers accuse Mo Farah’s competitor of ‘disrespectful’ gesture ahead of 5000m final

It wasn't quite the fairytale end to Mo Farah's track career that many in the London Stadium had hoped for.

A week on from winning World Championship gold in the 10,000m, the 34-year-old was beaten into second place by Ethiopia's Muktar Edris in the final of the 5,000m. The bronze medal went to Paul Chelimo of the USA, a man that had angered some watching on television with what they perceived as being a 'disrespectful' gesture before the race had started. https://twitter.com/Rbpa10/status/896458548732993538 https://twitter.com/StaceyRule/status/896457149316026368 https://twitter.com/Geoff_NUFC/status/896456414788558848 https://twitter.com/StattoWrexham/status/896455362563452930 https://twitter.com/wabarrow76/status/896451837909487616 https://twitter.com/MoutheySouthey/status/896451697760972801 https://twitter.com/Cawts67/status/896456176610750468 Farah finished in a time of 13:33.22, with Edris's time clocked at 13:32.79.
