LaTonya Norton's embarrassing interview with the Brit took place after Farah won the New Orleans half-marathon in a record time of one hour 59 seconds on Sunday.

Farah was mistaken for a fun runner by Norton, who asked: "Haven't you run before? This isn't your first time?"

Farah managed to brush off the error at the time and on Wednesday went one further, tweeting: "Just wanna say to everyone being nasty to LaTonya Norton please stop!! She made a mistake like we all do!! She didn't mean anything by it!"

Farah won gold in the men's 5000m and 10 000m at last year's London Olympics.
