He stays entirely composed but you can tell by his face he's like "b*tch I'm a double Olympic gold medalist!"

To her credit, the caption below his name read "Marathon Winner"

Comments on all their videos are disabled.
The other hilarious thing she said at the end was, after discussing his preparation for a marathon was, "Well, you're off to a good start."

No, he's not like that at all. He's struggling to hear her through the ear piece.
The right answer is no. Farah doesn't run. He competes.
I have to assume the entire station is terrible. She's holding papers in her hand...what's on them? Did no one brief her on any of this? I mean, is it COMMON at this station to send someone into an interview that unprepared.
What's funny is that she keeps saying "61 minutes" as if that boggles her mind. Considering she knows nothing about racing, times, distances, or what race Farah actually ran, would it matter if it was 61 minutes or 43 minutes or 5 minutes?

David Coleman was master of the feet. Best Brit athletics announcer ever. The Yogi Berra of Track and Field.
"And there goes Juantorena down the back straight, opening his legs and showing his class."
"He is accelerating all the time. That last lap was run in 64 seconds and the one before in 62."
"Moses Kiptanui - the 19 year old Kenyan, who turned 20 a few weeks ago"
"Morcelli has four fastest 1500-metre times ever. And all those times are at 1500 metres."
"This evening is a very different evening from the morning that we had this morning"
"Linford Christie has a habit of pulling it out when it matters the most."
"And for those of you watching on black-and-white sets, Everton are wearing the blue shirts."
"That's the fastest time ever run - but it's not as fast as the world record."
"This is a truly international field, no Britons involved."
"We estimate, and this isn't an estimation, that Greta Waltz is 80 seconds behind."
"He's even smaller in real life than he is on the track."
"One of the great unknown champions because very little is known about him."
(At the velodrome) "The front wheel crosses the fininsh line, closely followed by the back wheel."
His reaction is the best. He's trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, but at some point he realizes she knows nothing about running or who he is. Its funny, but then its just sad.

I will remain blissfully ignorant. It's funnier to imagine Mo Farah thinking that. Glad he's a cool dude though.
I'm with "might be wejo". Cmon Brojos, you have GOT to call out this ridiculous woman and make "Now haven't you run before?" the quote of the day. Cmon ! Show some guts !
The news channel took the video down LOL. Here is a new link -

He seems to hear all the other questions just fine. He does a double take at the "have you ever run" question because it is just so ridiculous.
I was waiting for her to ask "what part of New Orleans are you from, the British quarter?"
Hahaha!
She talks like he's a child.
Journalism school teaches you to talk to Olympic Gold medalists like children. I believe that is second semester curriculum.
haha, david coleman is my favorite. I was rolling reading these.
"Who care's who's 3rd!"
in the woman's defense, I think she was trying to say, "haven't you run *one before" as to say 'run a half marathon before', but that was funny when she called this race a marathon later on in the interview (very much akin to the proverbial 5kmarathon distance)
She should be fired. She deserves to be fired for being so ignorant.
