Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis on Britain's team for indoor world champs |
LONDON (AP) -- World champions Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis of Britain are among those included on the team for the world indoor championship in Istanbul.
Farah's participation was in doubt after he lost over two miles to Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge at the Birmingham Grand Prix on Saturday. But the reigning outdoor 5,000-meter world champion will compete in the 3,000 at the event on March 9-11.
Ennis, the former world heptathlon champion, will bid to retain her pentathlon crown after being selected for the 39-person squad. She won't run the 60 meters in Turkey.
Sprinter Dwain Chambers will defend his title in the 60. National 60-meter hurdles champion Andy Pozzi will be among five athletes representing Britain's senior team for the first time.
