British superstar Sir Mo Farah has won the first title on offer at the world athletics championships, claiming victory in a dramatic men's 10,000m.
Farah hit the front with 650 metres to go but was challenged repeatedly in the closing stages.
He had his heels clipped twice in the final lap but stayed on his feet and went on to win in 26 minutes 49.51 seconds.
Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei was less than half a second adrift in second place in 26:49.94 and Kenyan Paul Tanui claimed the bronze in 26:50.60.
It was a 10th major title over 5000m and 10,000m for Farah, who is now unbeaten over the longer distance for six years.
"I didn't want to let the people down," said the 34-year-old.
"The crowd was incredible.
"It's been a long journey but it's been amazing."
New Zealand's Zane Robertson finished almost one-minute behind Farrah in 16th.
