Farah's Footsteps: Find Out More About Mo Farah
Early Life
In the East African country of Somalia, there lived an energetic young boy named Mohamed, or Mo for short! His dark hair and dark eyes were always accompanied by a warm, playful smile. When Mo was a child, there was a lot of trouble in his country. His family fled as a result, seeking refuge and safety in England. He faced hardship and uncertainty in his early life, but he always had the determination to pursue his dreams.

Obstacles
Young Mo went to school in London but life was challenging. He didn’t speak English and had to adjust to a new culture. His natural talent for distance running was quickly noticed. Therefore, his teacher encouraged him to practise running faster every day. Young Mo was set on the right track and he had found his purpose. He began competing at a running club although things soon became tough. For example, he faced the bitter misfortune of not qualifying for the 2008 Olympic Games. However, he believed that one day he could achieve his goals. He always dreamed of being an Olympic champion so he pushed himself to the limit. “Don’t dream of winning, train for it,” Mo once famously said. He pushed past all disbelief and strived for excellence in every race.

In 2012, Mo’s dreams finally became a reality at the London Olympics. He darted ahead and took an early lead in front of an ecstatic crowd. They chanted with every step as he left his competitors behind. He raced to victory in the 5,000m and the 10,000m too! He won the heart of the nation with all of these achievements. After this success, Mo continued to flourish by dominating races and breaking records. He repeated the same triumphs in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Mo has truly become the most successful British track athlete in modern Olympic history!

Obstacles Young Mo went to school in London but life was challenging. He didn’t speak English and had to adjust to a new culture. His natural talent for distance running was quickly noticed. Therefore, his teacher encouraged him to practise running faster every day. Young Mo was set on the right track and he had found his purpose. He began competing at a running club although things soon became tough. For example, he faced the bitter misfortune of not qualifying for the 2008 Olympic Games. However, he believed that one day he could achieve his goals. He always dreamed of being an Olympic champion so he pushed himself to the limit. “Don’t dream of winning, train for it,” Mo once famously said. He pushed past all disbelief and strived for excellence in every race.
