The Great Britian team for next month’s IAAF World Championships has been announced, and includes Mo Farah and Laura Muir named for two events each.

In what is expected to be his last track races, World Champion Mo Farah, will aim to defend his 5000m and 10,000m titles in London, going for an unprecedented fourth straight world title in the 5000m, and a hat-trick of 10,000m world titles.

Scottish star Laura Muir has been confirmed for both the 1500m and 5,000m.

Also announced for two events at the World Championships is Katarina Johnson-Thompson. The British high jump recorder holder will compete in the heptathlon and high jump.

Despite withdrawing from the Anniversary Games in London due to injury, reigning long jump world champion Greg Rutherford has also been named in the 78 strong GB team.

Sprinter Adam Gemili misses out on a 200m place, but has been selected in the 4x100m relay squad.

British Athletics Performance Director, Neil Black said: “This feels bigger for us than Rio. London 2017 is the major global sporting event this year and will be the biggest occasion the country has seen since 2012. We’ve selected some incredibly talented athletes, and in many events there have been some close calls. It’s now up to them to grasp this opportunity and produce performances that will make the whole nation proud.”

In the men’s marathon, Andrew Davies has replaced the injured Robbie Simpson.
