BEIJING (Reuters) - Britain's Mo Farah regained his balance after stumbling and almost falling to the track in Wednesday's heats at the world athletics championships to book his spot in the final of the men's 5,000 metres.

Fresh from his victory in the 10,000m final, where he also overcame a stumble on the last-lap, Farah just managed to stay on his feet after being clipped by another runner.
