Dear Mo Farah: Please stop adding "That's what champions do" to everything you say.

double olympic champion, double world champion. And you are?

I am much slower than Mo but not a fan. I'm also much slower than Wilson Kipsang and a big fan.

Mo races to win and nothing more. There's nothing terrible about that, but I don't find his approach very interesting.

Wilson Kipsang races to do something great. Sometimes that leads him to do foolish things like that crazy surge at the London Olympic marathon, but it also makes him dig deep to not just win the race but set the course record, the world record, etc.

Farah is "humble" enough for a guy who won the 5000 + 10000m in the Olympics and WC. Just stop hating on the guy. All those other guys wanted to win...but did not. He does not hold the WRs, so be satisfied with that.
