Sir Mo Farah has affirmed that he will compete in the Vitality London 10,000 on May 2, 2022. As per a statement released by the organisers on Monday, he will return after healing from a foot fracture. Farah, the most accomplished athlete in British track and field history, hasn't competed since a broken foot ended his chances of competing in last year's Tokyo Olympic Games and adding to his four Olympic gold medals.

Now that his ailment is in a better condition, the 38-year-old is gearing up for the Vitality London 10,000. He's conquered the event seven times.

In Sir Mo Farah's words, "I’m really looking forward to getting out there and racing again at an event that I really love. I’ve been working hard to get back into shape following my injury last summer. And I’ve got a few more months of hard training ahead of me. So it’s good to have a target like the Vitality London 10,000 to work towards."

"I have great memories of the event. I have won it seven times and racing in central London is something you can never get bored of. The atmosphere among the thousands of participants is always fantastic. And I can’t wait to be part of it again," he concluded.
