It is the end of an era, Mo Farah will be running his last indoor race this weekend at the Birmingham Indoor Grand Prix! We look back at some of the most epic Farah performances!
1999 European Cross Country Championships
1999 saw Mo win his first Gold medal in the junior team at the European Cross Country Championships in Slovenia. Mo came 5th in the idividual race, however the team had enough points to take the top place on the podium!
2001 European Junior Championships
It was 3rd time lucky for Mo in the European Junior Championships in Italy to win his first Gold in the individual race.
The entire of 2010
Farah became a winning machine, this really started in 2010 when he dominated the European Championships where he won Gold in Norway and 2 Gold in Barcelona. Mo went onto win 5 STRAIGHT races all in all, with 2 more Golds in the World Championships!
London 2012 and Rio 2016
After coming 6th in the heats in Beijing, Farah had a few scores to settle at his home games London 2012. He became a house hold name when he became a double Olympian champion in the 5,000m and 10,000m races. The famous 'Mobot' celebration became the celebration of the games!
Farah, again became double champion at the Rio Olympics to cement his place as one of the greatest long distance runners.
Farah gets knighted and gets running track at St Mary's University named after him
The year has started pretty well for Mo Farah as he was included on the honour list to become a Sir Mo Farah. Looking back at his humble beginnings, this really is such a great achievement. To add to that, the track he trained on at St Mary's University was named after him in his honor!
