I actually agree with most of your response, except the part about Farah who isn't exactly getting mobbed in the streets of America. So, who's your pick for the sport's biggest name?
No. I was just stating that Mo might be more RECOGNIZABLE than Kipchoge. I'm not saying that he has a huge following. Both
are foreign figures when it come to having stardom.
It's similar to saying that Silver Surfer would be more recognizable than Night Crawler, but neither are spiderman or superman.
My pick for sport's biggest name? No one.
Usain Bolt is a household name. Everyone knows that he is the fastest man without knowing anything about track and field.
Hell, in america, Michael Phelps has more stardom than any track and field athlete, and swimming is even more obscure than running. So that should tell you something.
