Mo Farah Scores Greatest Victory of His Career!

The really bad thing about this story: the headline actually is true. It WAS his greatest victory.

The usual sit and kick from Mo.

I imagine you have had many greater victories. Try and make it at least funny your post is just pathetic

but it's true

all of his other victories are paid as you know

Now Mo needs to go on one of those Japanese obstacle course shows. He could put all of those non-running workouts he does to good use.

which I expect is tongue in cheek.

You "expect" it is tongue in cheek. Could it have been any more obvious? Wouldn't this statement have been a clue:

"His win was a shot across the bows of Kenenisa Bekele and Eliud Kipchoge and a message to them and all other pretenders: anyone can win an Olympic gold medal or skim sub-2:03 territory in London or Berlin, but you haven't really made it until you're the king of Akasaka."

Looks like a very difficult course the uphill in the video was pretty harsh.

It's called a litote.

The best part was how they picked up the finishing tape for literally everyone after Mo

This is awesome, I want to know more about this race. Also Mo looks surprisingly gassed for what looks to be kind of a novelty event. Was there big prize money on the line?

The Japanese have some great TV shows. There Ninja Warrior show is way enter then the US version.

It has to be asked, is Jama hiding out in Japan?

Mo ought to run in an ekiden. Put together a NOP ekiden team - Farah, Rupp, Levins, Jenkins, and Osako. That would be a formidable team.

13:40 for 3.6 Km. That's a slow course!

Mo doesn't get out of bed for less than 100,000,000 JYN

13:40 for 3.6k is pretty much crawling for someone like Mo, did he fake looking tired? or was the entire course massively uphill?

That's only 6 minute mile pace. He looked much faster in the video. And it was a loop course so it was a net 0 elevation gain, even though it was apparently hilly. He must have been jogging most of it or the course was measured wrong. A lot of us could run 13:xx for a hilly 3.6k LOL. Ever heard of Jordan Hasay?

So many questions......

There was some sort of handicap involved. Maybe the clock started when the Japanese models and comedians started running and Mo started later and had to catch them.

They had 5 mins head start on Mo
