When they are born, he should call his kids 10k and 5k after this.

 

[Lord Camomile]

He's duty bound to name his twins Wenlock and Mandeville now, surely?

Yay!!! Well done Mo, superb

 

[Numbers]

From when he went to the front with 600 to go he showed the Might of Africa who was boss.

 

[Sirena]

I'm exhausted!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Uh-oh, is Mo in trouble with his wife?

"Now, in the interview, what do we say is the best moment of your life...? "

I've just watched it again. I seem to have more grit in my eye in the 5000 than in the 10000

Inverdale almost got a lapdance then.

 

[twentythreedom]

He's great, very likeable personality and humble too. Good work, fella

 

[Orang Utan]

That was such an awesome sight!

 

[twentythreedom]

Farah, not Dimverdale btw (wrt my previous post!)

 

[Mumbles274]

Loved it... And great lampooning of bolt with the sit ups... What a guy

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Far more exciting than 100m and Usain Bolt

I reckon Tenkay's a good name

it's a terrible thought that on Saturday night TV they soon replace charismatic, talented people with the usual tedious twats

Its ok, West Ham wont move into the ground for a couple of years yet.

Sir Mo.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Mo's website seems to have crashed

It was a good plug for his dinner.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Boxing now

 

[Hollis]

Great stuff! I happened to catch the last 2 laps in the pub.

 

[Sirena]

That's all there was, really.

 

[Sirena]

But it doesn't matter that the race was rubbish, Mo won and the others couldn't stop him winning and that's what counts!

 

[ricbake]

Bolt just did the Mo sign!!!

 

[tommers]

That doesn't even make sense.

 

[Kaka Tim]

Wow - that Mo Bloke has got some fucking steel. Held his nerve and ran that race to perfection - my heart was in my mouth just watching it. The last lap was awesome - I thought the two guys on his tail were gonner take him but he powered through.

Go Mo!

Couldn't happen to a nicer more likable bloke

The Olympics has been full of them. David Rudisha is lovely. As is Usain Bolt. As have been lots and lots of the winners. The modern pentathlon top three all had a group hug at the end of their run.

It's disconcerting losing all my cynicism like this.
