 In a leafy street in Portland, Oregon, is Mo Farah's home. On the dining-room wall are his trophies. And on that wall, next to a signed Arsenal shirt, is space for a couple of medals.

It is where the gold bullion that he won over two of the most memorable nights in British athletics history will reside when the Somalia-born, London-raised runner returns to the place across the Pond that shaped him for greatness.

He already had two European golds when he took the defining decision of his career, namely to go to the States to work with Alberto Salazar, the three-time New York Marathon winner and maverick coach supreme.
