FacebookTwitterEmail

European XC champion Mo Farah  is aiming for the European Athletics Indoor Championships in March.

UK Athletics has confirmed that Farah will seek qualification at the Norwich Union European Trials in Sheffield on 10 & 11 February, where he will compete over 3000m.

Should he finish in the top two there and secure his qualification, Farah will go on to Birmingham for the championships where he hopes to add to the gold medal recently won in the European Cross Country Championships.

Farah said: "My confidence is really high at the moment after the win in the cross-country, but the challenges just keep coming for me.

"With the Euro Indoors in Birmingham there is a great incentive to get there and go for another gold medal, so the Norwich Union Trials in Sheffield will be a key event for me."
