LONDON -- Mo Farah won the 5,000 meters at Saturdays Anniversary Games with the fastest time in the world this year while Great Britains 4x100 men and Katarina Johnson-Thompson put down markers ahead of the Rio Olympics.It was Farahs first 5,000 of the season as he recorded a world-leading time of 12:59.29 at the stadium where he won double Olympic gold in 2012. He saw off the threat of Great Britains Andrew Butchart and South Africas Stephen Mokoka who finished in second and third respectively. Farah will now turn his attention to the Rio Games where he will be looking to defend both his 5,000 and 10,000 titles.I got amazing support from the crowd -- I just wanted to go for it. It was my last chance to run quick before Rio, Farah said. I mean, I love this track, it means a lot to me.Not many people get a chance to compete in their home town and have so many memories of the place. Rio is right around the corner but it means a lot to get the win before going into those championships.I am in good shape but I have to keep my feet on the ground. Anything can happen in two and a half weeks, it is all about staying patient now.Farahs impressive run capped off a promising day for Great Britain in the Diamond League event where the form of the mens 4x100 and Johnson-Thompson gave reasons for optimism ahead of Rio.The quartet of James Dasaolu, Adam Gemili, James Ellington and CJ Ujah who took gold in the European Championships just edged the GB B line up -- Richard Kilty, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, Daniel Talbot and Ojie Edoburun -- by 300th of a second to record an impressive time of 37.78 seconds in the mens 4x100 with Canada in third.We are a great squad and really get on with each other, Gemili said. There has been a lot of hard work from a lot of people to make this team stronger.?We are all running really well and are very confident. We believe we can go out there and challenge the worlds best.And Johnson-Thompson backed up a personal best in the high jump on Friday with victory in the long jump as she edged out Shara Proctor into second. Johnson-Thompsons seasons best of 6.84 meters beat Proctors leap of 6.80 as she received a huge boost ahead of the Rio Games where she competes in the heptathlon.?I am happy with that, there was good consistency throughout my jumps, Johnson-Thompson said. It is obviously good to get the win on this stage and it gives me confidence as I focus on the heptathlon at the Olympic Games.Her rival for the heptathlon crown Britains Olympic champion Jessica Ennis-Hill, who ran a seasons best in the 100 hurdles on Friday, failed to make the cut in the long jump as her best of 6.19 meters saw her finish seventh.I feel like I am in a good place going into Rio but I would have loved to have jumped further today, Ennis-Hill said. I would have liked to have got closer to my PB and taken some confidence from the long jump but it reminds me that there is still a bit of work to do.World and Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was left with third in the 100 women as the Ivory Coasts Maria-Josee Ta Lou equalled her personal best with 10.96. Michelle-Lee Ahye finished third while Britains Dina Asher-Smith was in fourth with 11.09. ?Elsewhere, Great Britains Shelayna Oskan-Clarke won the 800 women with a seasons best of 1:59.46 with Lynsey Sharp coming in second.?Matthew Hudson-Smith took the mens 400 after European champion Martyn Rooney was disqualified for a false start. Britains Hudson-Smith ran a 45.03 with Trinidad and Tobagos Deon Lendore in second and Britains Rabah Yousif put in a seasons best to finish third with 45.45 seconds.World champion Dafne Schippers cemented her medal credentials ahead of Rio as she dominated the 200 women with a time of 22.13 with American duo Tiffany Townsend and Joanna Atkins in second and third respectively. ?Frances Dimitri Bascou won the mens 110 hurdles after two false starts which saw Britains Lawrence Clarke and Americas Jarret Eaton disqualified.Americas Kerren Clement took the mens 400 hurdles with a seasons best of 48.40 as Britains Jack Green came fifth. Rasmus Ristolainen Jersey . 10 Texas A&Ms offence dominated as usual against SMU. Vladimir Sobotka Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. http://www.sabresteamstoreonline.com/authentic-alexander-mogilny-sabres-jersey/ . With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds. It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. Scott Wilson Jersey . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries. Sam Reinhart Jersey . Jon Montgomerys gold medal in skeleton at the Whistler Sliding Centre and his subsequent auctioning off of a pitcher of beer in the village square elevated him to folk-hero status.Nearly nine years ago, a roar erupted inside Osakas Nagai stadium as three exhausted runners stormed into the last 10 metres desperate to be 400m world champion. Nicola Sanders lurched towards the line ahead of Jamaican Novlene Williams, who had led for most of the race, and although GB team-mate Christine Ohuruogu won gold, it was still an incredibly gutsy show from the former Sky Academy Sports Scholar. Injuries were a source of frustration for Sanders for the rest of her career and she reluctantly retired in October 2014.As well as that silver in Japan, the High Wycombe-born athlete, coached by Scholarship boss Tony Lester, can boast a load of other medals including European Indoor 400m gold at Birmingham in 2007, clocking 50.02 seconds which is still a British record.So 16 months after hanging up her spikes and now running around changing nappies, how does Sanders reflect on her career, being a mum and how the Sky Scholarship (2010-2012) boosted her?I was looking at my phone the other day and one of my Facebook Memories popped up. It was a photo of me and my running group on a hill session in the rain. And I thought - do we really miss this?I dont miss athletics when its freezing cold. By the end of my career, I was fed up with being away, but at the same time I miss going to South Africa and being in the sunshine and training with people doing what I love. Christine Ohuruogu pips Sanders to gold in Japan in 2007 So I have mixed feelings. Overall though, I dont miss it - which is good because it means I retired at the right time. I knew I was ready. I was chosen for the relay in London 2012 but they didnt end up picking me, so I lost all my funding. After the Games, I decided to change event and try the 800m.I did that for a year and competed a few times in 2013 and then I got injured again. I thought Id give it one more year but got so injured, I couldnt even compete. I got more and more frustrated. There are only so many times you can say if I wasnt injured, I could have.... I knew it was time to stop.The good part of my career was a long time ago and it feels like I was a separate person. My peak was in 2007. Thats nine years ago, which is crazy. Even when I was doing my best times with silver in Osaka, I thought I could have won that final. I was disappointed and I couldnt appreciate it then. At the start of my career, to say Id be the British indoor record holder and have all the medals I won, I wouldnt have believed it. It did become frustrating but over time, Ive learned to appreciate it. With all the injuries, I feel I could have got more out of it but over time, I feel Ive had a pretty good career and one that many would kill for - even those that arent injured. It was an amazing one-two for GB in that 400m world final in 2007 At the moment, Im very happy being a mum. I will start some different work and eventually I will get back into coaching. Ive always wanted to go into physio because of my injuries but not at the moment. Im very happy looking after Oliver [6 months old]. It wasnt tthat long ago I was training, but as soon as I started being a mum, it felt like I had been doing it for years.dddddddddddd. The transition from athlete to parent has been pretty comfortable. You do have to be self-centred as an athlete with your body, where everything is geared towards training and competing. But I was ready to change that part of my life so it all happened and my life is now all about Oliver. That all happened quite naturally and it doesnt seem such a change because its so normal now - although I obviously have less sleep than I used to! Looking back, being on the Scholarship scheme was brilliant. Tony was my coach and it really assisted in so many ways.It helped me buy essential equipment and I was given the opportunity to learn from some of the mentors, who were Sky presenters where I worked in the studios.It also enabled me to have warm weather training. It helped so much with the injuries being in the sun and doing quality training. Sanders (second from right) won gold in the 400m relay in Istanbul at the 2012 World Indoor Championships In the build-up to the 2012 season, we went to Florida for five weeks. The whole of our group went and Tony also managed to get out for most of that time. The training was great and that just wouldnt have happened without the Scholarship. I will always be very grateful for that.In the build-up to London, being a Scholar also helped with our profiles and the sports profile. I remember seeing a poster of me running in the middle alongside Sir Chris Hoy and Andy Murray.It was so weird thinking people were seeing it all around the country. I was in a shopping centre and these guys were trying to sell me Sky TV in front of the poster and I was saying hold on... thats me!For any new Scholar starting the scheme, I would say grab it with both hands. Its such an amazing opportunity. Plus having the chance to see the Sky set-up was amazing. It gave me exposure to some great training with media and it gives you money to do the sport you love. I recommend taking every opportunity it gives you.So whats next for me? Before having Oliver, I did some sports massage and personal training. I might go back to that when my son is old enough and maybe some coaching but I dont have definite plans. Sanders just missed out on a spot in the 400m final at the 2008 Olympics As for Oliver, my partner and I were joking about him becoming an athlete recently! We will definitely encourage him to do sport. When he was born, he was diagnosed with Downs Syndrome so we were chatting about signing him up for the Special Olympics and deciding what events hed do! Hes very active though, so hell be into all of this as it is.
