Sir Mohamed Muktar Jama Farah, better known as Mo Farah, is widely regarded as one of the greatest long-distance runners in history. Born in present-day Somaliland, Farah was trafficked to the UK as a child, where he later adopted the name Mohamed Farah. His rise to prominence in athletics began with his success in the 5,000m and 10,000m events, where he became a dominant force on the global stage. Farah's career is highlighted by his ten global championship gold medals, including four Olympic titles and six World Championship victories, making him the most successful male track distance runner in history.

Farah's Olympic achievements are particularly remarkable. He won gold in both the 5,000m and 10,000m at the 2012 London Olympics and repeated the feat at the 2016 Rio Olympics, becoming only the second athlete in history to win both events at consecutive Games. His ability to defend his titles at both the World Championships and the Olympics earned him the nickname "quadruple-double." Farah's tactical brilliance, combined with his blistering sprint finish, made him nearly unbeatable in major competitions, and he enjoyed an unbroken streak of ten global final wins from 2011 to 2017.

In addition to his track success, Farah transitioned to road racing later in his career. In 2018, he won the Chicago Marathon in a European record time of 2:05:11, further cementing his versatility as a distance runner. Farah's running style, characterized by a bouncy and tactical approach, allowed him to conserve energy for his signature sprint finishes. His achievements on the track and road have earned him numerous accolades, including being named BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2017 and receiving a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II in the 2017 New Year Honours for his services to athletics.

Farah also holds several records, including the world record for the one-hour run and European records in the 3,000m and 10,000m. He was the first British athlete to win two gold medals at the same World Championships and remains the most successful male athlete in individual events at the European Athletics Championships. His legacy as one of the greatest distance runners of all time is further solidified by his numerous awards, including the European Athlete of the Year and British Athletics Writers Association British Athlete of the Year, which he has won more than any other athlete.
