Sir MF Mo Farah

Bearing in mind how fresh Mo looked today, and how Kipchoge may have run perhaps 2:03 on a good day under Chicago conditions, the two may not be as far apart as you think. If Mo runs like today, Kip will need to be on top form to win in Tokyo.

For Somalia you mean, he hasn’t an atom of British blood in his veins.

Apart from his dad being British of course.

Mohammed now holds the European record from 1500m to Marathon. Great distance runner of all time - by a long way.

Bekele would win this race no problem if he were there.

No, he's from England. Do you really not know this?

If an Eskimo happened to have been born in Africa, he is still an Eskimo.

Muktar Farah Mo’s father was a Somalia, his birthplace irrelevant.

Was Muktar an Englishman like Steve Cram, quite clearly, Mo would have the appearance of a typical half-caste.

As Mo obviously has no white blood in his veins, I think one could safely say he is pure African.

Laughingly, I heard a BBC commentator claim: “At last we have a British runner that can beat the Africans at distance running!”

And rupp is European , not American. Only Native Americans are Americans . It works both ways.

Rupp looks like a rabbit. Is he a rabbit?

Let these Americans be...I guess they don't count Lagat (Kenya) either, or Alberto Salazar (Cuba), or their idol prefontaine (France).

Even Al pacino isn't from the US.

According to their own logic, pretty much no one is!!!

You would think all of this would be obvious. If I moved to Japan am I Japanese? Would they say I am Japanese?

Prefontaine's mother was German. He must've been German.

That about sums it up. Unmatchable competitive record, especially when you account for how much tough this era is versus Nurmi, Zatopek and Viren.

Ritzenhein sounds German to me. Centrowitz looks Mexican and has a Polish name. There isn't any natural born Americans elites. The best is probably Sage Kennedy.

My sister has traced our family ancestry back to Edward II (14th Century) so far and is still researching.

So, unlike Mo, I think I could safely say that I am an true Englishman, especially compared to the international riff/raff I see waving British passports around these days.

Much the same with America, had the native Indians been left to themselves, that would still be living in wigwams and hunting buffalo, certainly not walking on the moon.

The first Americans that were followed by a subsequent flood of Europeans seeking life in the New World were of course the British colonists - and damn lucky you were that they were British, because at that time only the British had the blueprint for future greatness.

One only has to look south of your border to see what would have happened otherwise.

Those guys were not born in the USA. I did not know that.

Obviously you mean greatest EUROPEAN distance runner.

But forgetting to include that makes your statement a bridge too far, and not only misstates your case, but irritates the readers, who unfortunately take out their irritation by criticising your guy (which seems unfair to him--it's not his fault his fans are overstating his achievements).

Nice conclusion to keep everyone happy! And quite fair!

You must be one of those dunces who doesn’t think the French World Cup champs were French either.

Well that confirms it's just plain racism. Apparently you are not British unless you are white, all nationality is to be based on your parents colour. You did are a grade a a55hole.
