Supremo van Commenee is pleased in Athletics

As Mo Farah lapped up the adoration from the loving Glasgow public on Saturday night, against a setting of ticker tape and the forceful waving of Union flags, you almost forgot about the inquiry of Scottish Independence.

Maybe he is good for a nation, suggested Dutchman Charles van Commenee in a unify call to arms in front of this summer's London Olympics. Van Commenee, the head coach of UK Athletics, was tiresome to make his voice heard in the middle of the racket that accompany, and then followed, Farah's rousing 1500 meters victory in the closing event of the Aviva International.

As the majestic old Kelvin Hall said departure to top-class indoor athletics after two decades as a friendly host, Farah's success could not have been better scripted. The 28-year-old Somalian-born athlete, the world champion at 5000 meters, stepped down to 1500 meters and beat the alarming Kenyan Augustine Choge, the fastest man in the world over that distance at home last year, with a time of 3.39.03, a new sports ground record.
