Mo Farah insists he will prioritise winning medals over breaking a world record ahead of this summers Olympics in Rio.The double Olympic champion kept his preparations for Rio on track by breaking David Moorcrofts 34-year-old British 3,000m record at the Birmingham Diamond League on Sunday.The 33-year-old, who claimed a winning time of seven minutes 32.62 seconds, now holds every major national record from the 1500m to the half-marathon - as well as four indoor national records. Despite winning seven global track titles, his only world best performance is over two miles indoors. Farah broke David Moorcrofts record by a tenth of a second Ethiopias Kenenisa Bekele, who holds the 5,000m and 10,000m world records respectively, claims Farah needs to take one of his world records to be considered an all-time great.But the Briton, who has two wins from two races this summer, is happy racking up the medals. Another double in Brazil in August would see him eclipse Bekeles haul of three Olympic and five world titles.Asked if he had ambitions to attempt a world record, Farah said: Have you seen them? You have to be realistic.Its all one year at a time. This year is all about Rio.Next year is my last track year. I will come out in London (at the World Championships at the Olympic Stadium) and then go on to the road. That is my aim. Records are hard. Adam Gemili is one of GBs leading 100m hopes in Rio Another man with his focus firmly on Rio is Adam Gemili, who was upbeat despite finishing in sixth place in the 100m with a time of 10.29 seconds.The 22-year-old, one of Great Britains leading sprint hopes, was appearing in only his second outdoor meeting since tearing a hamstring while breaking the 10-second barrier for the first time in Birmingham 12 months ago.Sundays performance fell short of the 9.97 the Alexander Stadium crowd witnessed from the former footballer last June, but Gemili said he had learned from that experience.Its not the Olympic final or anything so I dont want to push myself too hard, which is what I did last year and it ended up putting me out for the season, he said.My body is in a great place. These meets are great, but they are not the be-all and end-all. The be-all and end-all is Rio, so thats what Im working towards and hopefully I can go out there and deliver.Also See:Farah breaks 34-year recordWHO asks for new Zika probeCustom Green Bay Packers Jerseys .

Custom Seattle Seahawks Jerseys . Traditional contenders Brazil, Greece and Turkey drew the other three spots to complete the 24-team field for this summers tournament in Spain, basketball governing body FIBA announced Saturday at its meeting in Barcelona.The teams that finished at the bottom of college basketballs power conferences in 2016 are looking for early signs this year will be different.The number of Power Five teams with at least 15 league regular-season losses has doubled from four in 2012-13 to eight last year: Boston College and Wake Forest in the Atlantic Coast Conference; the Big 12s Oklahoma State and TCU; the Big Tens Minnesota and Rutgers; Missouri in the Southeastern Conference; and the Pac-12s Washington State.That group is off to a 29-7 start through Tuesdays games and desperate to build momentum in the seasons opening month.ESPN analyst and former Duke player Jay Bilas said more teams sliding so far back in their leagues -- whether due to a brief dip or long-running struggles -- illustrates how climbing the standings is harder now than its ever been after realignment created bigger and tougher conferences.If you dont make the (NCAA Tournament) in a certain number of years, the coach is getting fired in these big leagues, Bilas said. The next guy gets four or five years and they fire him. Then all of a sudden youve got a 14-year drought. Its hard.---A look at those teams:BOSTON COLLEGEInjuries, youth and what BC coach Jim Christian called a piecemeal roster led to an 0-18 ACC record and a 7-25 mark for a program with one winning season since firing Al Skinner in 2010. Picked last in the ACC again, the Eagles (3-1) lost their home opener to Nicholls State.It cant be done overnight, Christian said. So its going to have to be done by getting the right kind of guys, getting them in the system they believe in and letting them grow together.MINNESOTAIts been bumpy for Richard Pitino, whose Gophers slid from 25 wins to 18 and then eight in his three seasons. Off-court incidents have also led to several player departures.With six new players, the Gophers have started 5-0 amid pressure on Pitino to show progress.Last year was very, very difficult for everybody, Pitino said. Those returners, theyve got pride. They want to show people what were all about.MISSOURIMissouri is on shaky footing under third-year coach Kim Anderson, though it did take highly ranked Xavier to overtime last week.The Tigers (2-2) have finished 3-15 in the SEC for two straight years and sat out last years postseason due to a self-imposed ban for NCAA violations under Frank Haith. Several players have also left or were dismissed in the past year.OKLAHOMA STATEThe Cowboys appear to be more of a oone-year outlier in this group.ddddddddddddnjuries to Big 12 freshman of the year Jawun Evans and Phil Forte led to a 3-15 league mark after five NCAA trips in seven years.Under new coach Brad Underwood, Evans ranks among the nations best by averaging 27 points in an offense averaging nearly 99 points. Picked seventh in the Big 12, Oklahoma State started 4-0 and beat Connecticut in the Maui Invitational before losing to fourth-ranked North Carolina late Tuesday.RUTGERSThe Scarlet Knights havent been to the NCAAs since 1991 while their last winning record came in 2006. Now they have their seventh coach since the last NCAA trip in Steve Pikiell and a 3-33 two-year record in the Big Ten.The good news: Rutgers (4-0) entered Wednesdays game against North Texas with its best start since going 5-0 in 2001.TCUFormer Pittsburgh coach Jamie Dixon is increasing tempo and having success on the recruiting trail for his alma mater, which is off to a 4-0 start. Still, its going to be a long climb for the Horned Frogs, who havent been to the NCAAs since 1998, own an 8-64 Big 12 record in four seasons and are picked last again.WAKE FORESTThe Demon Deacons beat Indiana, UCLA, Arkansas and LSU in nonconference play, but their young roster couldnt stop a 2-16 freefall in ACC play -- most notably by blowing a 10-point late lead and losing on a banked-in buzzer shot to then-No. 11 Virginia.In its third year under Danny Manning, Wake Forest (4-1) entered Wednesdays game against Coastal Carolina averaging 86.4 points with their only loss coming to reigning NCAA champion Villanova.WASHINGTON STATEThe Cougars (3-2) were a Top 25 program under Tony Bennett, but they havent been to the NCAAs since Bennett left for Virginia in 2009. Now third-year coach Ernie Kent is coming off a 1-17 season in Pac-12 play.Its a year we need to make a positive step, and were well aware of that, Kent said during last weeks Paradise Jam tournament. Its not a make-or-break year for us.
