Farah

Mo Farah is a double Olympic champion for 5000 and 10,000 metres. He also is the European champion middle-distance runner.

He was born on the 23rd of April 1983 and grew up in Somalia with his brother Hassan Farah. He came to England when he was 8 and spoke very little English. His P.E. teacher spotted him and he became the 2001 junior champion for 5000 metres. In 2006 he had his major break through when he won silver in the European T&F. After that his career shot foward and he won both golds in the European T&F again. Now he still is a British legend.

Because of all this he is one of our houses and he is yellow because of all his gold medals!
