Mo Farah was surprisingly beaten by club runner Ellis Cross at the Vitality London 10,000 as he returned to competition after an 11-month absence.
"I have beaten somebody who is like an idol," Cross, who represents Aldershot, Farnham & District, told BBC Sport. Cross, from Polesworth in Warwickshire, said he "didn't quite follow the script" in upsetting Farah in front of a London crowd that cheered him on in the 16,000-strong event."I can't believe it," he said. "I didn't believe it until 20 metres from the finish. I thought he would just out-kick me."He is known around the world and I have beaten him over his prime distance. Nobody knows who I am but the crowds are cheering.
