GEORGE MILLS is eyeing up a gold rush after demolishing Sir Mo Farah’s British men’s 5000 metres record in Oslo last night.
The 26-year-old, clocked 12:46.59 at the Bislett Games to slash over six seconds off the four-time Olympic champ’s mark from Monaco in 2011.
It left the Yorkshireman fourth as the USA’s Nico Young led home a mass charge.
But after landing two Euro silvers in 12 months, Mills wants some big nights that match Mo’s moments of magic.
He said: “That record was one of the things I came here for and it’s nice to be able to do it.
“I like to run brave. I like to assert myself on races. So that’s what I was able to do.
“Now I want medals at worlds and Olympic Games. That’s what I have to do. That’s what I’m aiming for now.”;
Mills competed at thein Paris last summer – with his race was overshadowed by controversy.
In a chaotic 5000m heat, theace was one of four runners that fell over on the home straight.
It led to a confrontation after the finish line asand appeared to tell him to “f*** off.”;
Elsewhere Norway’s Karsten Warholm set a 300m hurdles world record of 32.67 seconds.
Dina Asher-Smith lost out to Paris Olympic gold medallist Julien Alfred in coming third in the women’s 100m.
