Farah wins national 5000m title
Double European champion Mo Farah won the 5,000m at the UK Athletics trials for the World Championships - then announced he will only be competing in the 10,000m in Daegu, South Korea.
Farah clocked 14 minutes, 0.72 seconds to win the 5,000m for his ninth successive victory this season.
"I'm definitely going to concentrate on one event and that is the 10k," said the 28-year-old.
"I'm going out there believing I can win a medal."
Farah has improved swiftly since moving with his wife and daughter to Portland, United States to be coached by Alberto Salazar.
"I've made a lot of changes in my life, as an athlete you have to make sacrifices," he added.
"Things are going really well. The crowd gave massive support, which was nice.
"I've definitely got confidence and I believe everything is going well. I can't say I feel invincible, but I do feel I'm ready."
Aldershot athlete Andy Vernon followed Farah home in 14:01.72.
The top two athletes in each event at the UK Trials will guarantee their ticket to Daegu, provided they have the 'A' standard qualifying mark.
Farah's final race ahead of the World Championships, which begin on 27 August, will be at the Diamond League meet in London on 5-6 August, where he will run the 3,000m.
World bronze medallist Jenny Meadows won her first national outdoor crown in the 800m, finishing ahead of Emma Jackson and Marilyn Okoro in a time of 2:02.28.
"It's such a relief," Meadows told BBC Sport. "I've always wanted to win this title.
"It's amazing to get global medals but for me, it's still important to be UK champion so I'm really thrilled that I've managed to do it.
Martyn Rooney produced a season's best of 45.44 to claim victory in the 400m, ahead of Chris Clarke and Dai Greene .
However, the Croydon athlete's time wasn't good enough to achieve the 'A' standard (45.23) meaning no British athlete has yet to automatically qualify for Daegu.
After finishing second in Saturday's women's 100m, Anyika Onuora took the national title in the 200m in 23.26.
