"My wife gave birth to two little beautiful girls. It is very exciting," he said.

But asked whether he would be immediately going to her bedside, he said: "No, no, no, I've got a race tomorrow, haven't I."
ave birth just under two weeks after her husband's second triumph when he won the 5,000m title in a memorable final in Stratford.
Mr Farah said that his wife gave birth in London yesterday and that he had been present.
"My wife has been holding on so long and it's great that she held on this long and didn't give birth on the track (at the Olympics)," he said at a press conference this morning.
Asked to compare fatherhood to wining Olympic gold, he said: "It's completely different. It's out of your control, it was weird, but as a father I'm very proud. To have three kids in the family is going to be exciting."
