The British long distance runner Mo Farah is one of the most successful athletes in modern Olympic Games history. He is a multiple Olympic, World and European champion.

He is known for his grit and determination to win. He is a great role model for children who want to be an athlete.

He was born in Mogadishu

Sir Mo Farah is the most successful British distance runner of modern times and the man who won gold in both the 5000m and 10,000m races at the London 2012 Olympics. But he has revealed his secret - he was illegally brought to Britain at the age of nine, from Djibouti and forced to work as a child slave.

The 39-year-old, who was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2013 New Year Honours list, tells a BBC documentary that his real name is Hussein Abdi Kahin and that he was brought to the UK by a woman he had never met. She pretended to be his mother and then took him to an apartment in west London, where he was made to look after her children.

He told his story to a physical education teacher and was contacted by local officials who arranged for him to be fostered. He flourished on the track and soon became a superstar athlete.

But he was also a victim of human trafficking, and had to endure the trauma of being separated from his twin brother, Hassan, who was also brought to England at the same time. It took a decade for him to reconnect with his family, who still live in Somaliland and are not recognised internationally as part of Somalia.

In a BBC film that will air on Wednesday, he revealed his parents had been killed in civil war in Somaliland when he was four. He said a woman who had never met him, called Mohammed Farah, flew him from Djibouti to the UK and took him to work as a child servant for another family.

As a result of his experiences, he decided to write a book about his life. The book is entitled “Twin Ambitions” and is a powerful account of his life.

Anti-trafficking advocates say Farah’s story will go a long way to dispel misconceptions about modern-day slavery, a crime that is often hidden behind closed doors and carries with it an incredible amount of psychological trauma. It’s a shame that so many people in countries where exploitation is common don’t get the chance to escape it, activists say.

He was brought to England

Mo Farah, the world-famous British runner, was smuggled into Britain as an illegal immigrant under a false name, says he has now claimed in a documentary. He claims he was brought to England by a woman who claimed she would be taking him to Europe to live with relatives, but who instead took him to the UK under a new identity. He was given fake travel documents that showed his photo next to the name “Mohamed Farah”.

In a new documentary, The Real Mo Farah (BBC and Red Bull Studios), which was seen by BBC News on Wednesday, the long-distance runner says that his parents never lived in the United Kingdom. He says his father was killed in civil war in Somalia when he was four years old and that his mother and two brothers now live on their family farm in the breakaway state of Somaliland, which is not internationally recognised.

He says he was taken away from his parents at the age of nine and flown to the UK, accompanied by a “strange woman” who told him she would be taking him to live with relatives. When he arrived, he was given a new identity and fake travel papers.

After living with a family in Feltham, West London, the aspiring athlete confides in his PE teacher who alerts social services. He is placed into the care of another family and then stays with his friend’s mother.

The woman who brought him to England is now under investigation by police. She said she was a victim of human trafficking and had been coerced to bring him to the UK by her family. She told the BBC she was willing to speak with police and to be interviewed about her involvement in bringing him to the UK.

In the documentary, he also reveals how he was rescued by his PE teacher Alan Watkinson and that he subsequently gained his British citizenship. He was then able to use his new name as a means of getting into running events around the world.

He won gold in the 5000m and 10,000m races at the 2012 Olympics

Mo Farah olympics is an incredible distance runner who has won ten global championship gold medals in track and field. He is one of the most successful British track athletes of all time and the first man to win both the 5000m and 10,000m at two Olympic games.

It’s hard to believe that he has accomplished this much in a short space of time, but for him it all started when he moved from Mogadishu, Somalia, to London at the age of eight, knowing no English. His potential was spotted by his PE teacher who helped him on his way to becoming an international athlete.

After four years of training he finally made it to the 2012 Olympics where he won gold in both the 5000m and 10,000m races, the first man to do this at the same Olympic games since Albert Hill in 1924. It’s a fantastic achievement, especially considering that it has only been six men in history who have achieved the double, including Finland’s Hannes Kolehmainen and Emil Zatopek in 1912 and 1972, Russia’s Vladimir Kuts and Lasse Viren in 1976 and MirutsYifter in 1980.

His success is a testament to his dedication and commitment to running, which saw him become the first British man to achieve a sub-3:30 minute run in the 1500m and a 13-minute run in the 5000m. He also broke the European record in both events and has gone on to win a number of marathons and is now preparing to take on the road, targeting a place in the Tokyo 2021 Olympics.

He’s currently ranked as the number seven runner in the world, behind Said Aouita, Daniel Komen, Hicham El Guerrouj, Augustine Kiprono Choge and Bernard Lagat and is the only male athlete to break the 3:30 barrier for both the 1500m and the 5000m races. He’s also the only athlete to have run a sub-27 minute half-marathon and the only British runner to have done so.

It was a brilliant performance, which saw him come from a long way back to win in front of an ecstatic crowd at the Olympic Stadium. The race had been a close affair in the early stages and there was a great deal of pressure on Farah to keep up the pace. But he’s an excellent runner and he managed to control the pace, coming home with the gold medal in his arms. He’s now one of the most successful distance runners in history, and his achievements will live on forever.

He retired from track and field in 2017

Farah won four Olympic gold medals in the 5,000 and 10,000 metres races in 2012 and 2016 and is the most successful British track athlete ever. He is also a six-time world champion and holds a number of world records in distance running.

He retired from track and field in 2017 to focus on marathon running. He won the Chicago Marathon in a European record time of 2:05:11 in 2018 and was runner-up in the London Marathon that year.

In the years before he began running marathons, he dominated the track and was almost unbeatable in his events. He won 48 track races from 2011-17 and was never defeated.

One of the things that made him a superstar was his incredible desire and ability to finish on the last lap. He always tried to push himself harder than his opponents and had a great kick for home on the final lap.

As he grew older, he began to think about retirement from the sport. He had an amazing career, winning ten global championship gold medals and being the most successful British track runner of all time.

However, he was faced with another huge challenge in his final season of competition. The coronavirus ruined his plans for July’s London Anniversary Games, the world’s premier cross-country event.

While the cancellation of the London Anniversary Games is a huge setback for Farah, it does give him more time with his family and his training schedule will be a lot more flexible. He is also still able to train in isolation at London’s Richmond Park while keeping a low profile during his recovery from the coronavirus.

The timing of his decision to retire from the track is unfortunate, as it comes just months after he suffered a devastating defeat at the Vitality London 10,000 in May. The race was supposed to be his last major race before the Olympics.

Farah will be 38 by the time the Tokyo Olympics roll around in 2020 and will have to face a new challenge when he returns to the track. He is a good candidate for a third successive Olympic gold in the 10,000 metre race, but it will be much harder than winning his first two golds. In Tokyo, he will have to face Uganda’s Joshua Cheptegei, who is already the best distance runner in the world and has been improving rapidly.
