Sir Farah I think will eventually get knighted. Doesn't the Queen tap a sword on both your shoulders.
I love the British ways.

Hopefully not

Probably.
He's already a "Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire", which is just one step below a knighthood.
He's just been giving the CBE which I have not idea is a precursor to knighthood, or a message that "this is as far as you're getting."
Can some Brit fill us in?
I'm not a Brit, but looking the athletes which have been given knighthoods it seems winning gold at more than one Olympics helps a lot. Charitable work also seems to count. As well as military service (Kelly Holmes got an MBE for this alone).
So I think another world championship would almost get him there. And winning another Olympic gold would definitely do it.
Winning gold in the LONDON Olympics in showcase events will make him a shoo-in, but not until he has retired.
Sir Nick Faldo was knighted for winning 6 majors.
yes but Faldo was British?
no foreigners can be nighted?
Seriously?

Almost certainly, but could you be a bit more specific?

Mo Farah is also British. In fact, he grew up in Britain.
You're correct. I was trolling.
He's human and you sound ignorant. You must be trash.
