In 2010, he became the first British man to run the 5,000m in less than 13 minutes.

However, it was his appearance at the London Olympics in 2012 that cemented his status as one of the greatest British athletes of all time.
On “Super Saturday,” Mo gained the 10,000m gold medal, and a week later won gold in the 5,000m.
He continued his domination of the running events at Rio in 2016, winning gold in 5,000m and 10,000m once again.
Unfortunately, Mo failed to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 because of ankle problems.
