He said it's important to make his country proud.  |

Provided home, work and education for most of him and his family. Gave him his start in athletics. He feels British and pays due reference to the nation for which he competes - in otherwords just the sort of thoroughly integrated individual the racists on here profess to want to encourage.
Yet still they want to put him down. Just for once, why can't you be pleased that him (and Mo Sbihi) won Gold medals for Team GB, without any political agenda? Sometimes I get the feeling that there are a lot of CC'ers who get off on emphasising divisions where non really exist. |

British Somaliland was part of the British Empire and means he has every right and duty even to represent Britain.

will be forever tainted by his links to alberto salazar.

By:
you only have to look at Mo Farah to know that he does not need anything but natural talent and dedication and a love for running to win olympic gold.
he is a beautiful runner. |
|
By:
You all have missed something. Worse than everything wot you have all revealed about Mohamed (some think that calling him Mo exempts him from being Somalian and many don't know that Mo stands for Mohamed), he adverises those horribel tasteless veggie products!)

Well said Roger.
This forum really is a mirror image of real life. My real life anyway. I wonder if the type of person making some of the comments above reflect the only types I come across making them in real life? Usually middle aged, bitter, never really reached their full potential but will blame everyone else except themselves. Take every every every opportunity offered to you, regardless of your start in life. Farah seems a nice guy but yes he will have that Salazar taint. He's part of the GB team which is on target to outperform again at an Olympics. In a post Brexit world the country needs even more so to perform on the world stage. Sport as well as commerce. Lottery money well spent. |

Well said indeed Roger.
So many vile xenophobic, racist and homophobic people on here. The kind who think the odious Nigel Farage gave them 'freedom' in the referendum. Really is a depressing place nowadays. Used to be such a laugh as well. |

I'm not sure thatr Mohamed will have any backside left the way Radio 5 Live presenters have been licking away!

we can do without the leftist claptrap from Eboue, for all i know roger may have voted Brexit and he is a nice person...and so did i
 |

By:
He's halfway to securing a double Olympic gold medal haul that some of the greatest runners of all time couldn't achieve.
I think he's deserving of a bit of praise. |
|
By:
did Eboue vote remain and if he did would that make him a nice person? not necessarily.

If you wish to compete at the top level in distance running nowadays, there is no substitute for training for a large part of the time at altitude. Oregon happens to be such a place. Historically, quite a few world best times have been achieved there, in fact I believe Ivory Crockett may still hold the record for 100 yards set in Eugene in the mid-70s.
So his preference for living and training in Oregon is easy to understand, the idea that he could achieve the same outcomes training at Crystal Palace or Lea Valley is preposterous. |

By:
I can't see that anyone is questioning his achievement, just his nationality. Praise as an athlete-YES, praise as a Brit-NO! And while I am here, Andrew Murray Esq is Scottish when he loses and British when he wins. I, personally hope that the sour faced unpleasant personality will be Scottish after the Olympic final.

He could've been born in the heart of England for me. But I could never get excited about somebody winning a running race.

That's his wiki entry lfc - it doesn't mention the venue for his 100-yard record, you'll just have to take my word for it that it was in Eugene. |
|
By:
I'm pretty sure Eugene isn't at altitude
|
|
By:
It is, but not much.
|
|
By:
100m lol - a lifelong misconception blown apart. Always refreshing.
|
|
By:
but you're right about the reason - Farah is out there because Nike have a special house athletes live in that simulates high altitude

Its the Flag of Convenience and Drug Cheat Games now, Lithuanians rowing for Ireland, Kenyans running for Turkey, Russians speed skaters for Australia (winter olympics), South Africans golfing for Team GB
 and the largest country in the worlds athletes mostly banned for drug taking this year. Give me re-runs of Bargain Hunt over this. Didn't Morrissey call the opening ceremony at the London Olympics something akin to a 1940's Nazi Rally. Rant over |

Not entirely correct. Sanita has lived in Cork for 10 years and her family is now well settled in Ballincolig. She moved to Ireland in 2006, as her husband Kaspar got a job at Dublin Airport. |
