Mo Farah had to settle for fourth place in the mile at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston, Massachusetts.

The race was won by Ireland's Ciaran O'Lionaird in three minutes and 56.01 seconds, ahead of Canadian Taylor Milne who clocked 3mins 56.40secs and American Galen Rupp (3:57.10) who had led with one lap to go.

Farah, Britain's 5,000m world champion, has started the London Olympic year by tuning up his speed over shorter distances and won the 1,500m at the Aviva International Match in Glasgow last weekend.

In Boston the 28-year-old was edged out in a dash to the line, recording a time of 3:57.92.
