Great Britain's Mo Farah has been given the go-ahead to take part in the 5,000m at the World Championships.
The Somalia-born athlete narrowly missed out on an anticipated gold medal when he was caught by Ibrahim Jeilan of Ethiopia in Sunday's 10,000m.
Farah always had the 5,000 to fall back on although he was never going to commit to 'doubling-up' until after Sunday's race.
And despite suffering from blisters, the medical team has given the 28-year-old the go-ahead to take his place in Thursday's heats, with the final coming on the final day of competition on Sunday.
