Come on are you really trying to convince us that Kipchoge is more well-known than Farah?
Any national geographic documentary attracts lots of views because people recognise the brand and click!
Farah has 4.5million views on his 10k 2012 victory and 3.9 million on his 5k victory and he wasn't even that well known back then.
These are not Farah events. Everybody from Rupp fans to disappointed Kenyans watched those videos for different reasons. That Kipchoge has a higher profile than Farah (who's mainly famous in the U.K.) outside athletics circles is just fact. Where does Farah train, by the way? Does anyone care? Is he getting the random visitors that are travelling across the world to see Kipchoge and his spartan camp in Kaptagat? No, he is not!
And that Ingebrigtsen kid isn't known outside Europe, sorry.

Ingerbrigtsen is obviously not known outside of Europe and not even that much inside Europe.
Farah won everything for 7 years. He's well known. Double Double Olympic champ and 6 World championship Golds?
Those videos are entitled 'Farah wins Olympic 2012 5000m/10,000m", don't kid yourself that 4 million people are watching it for Rupp.
Like it or not, the reach of the UK is wider than of Kenya. Sorry. A very popular athlete here who is world beating will reach further corners of the globe than a Kenyan one.
