That Sir Mo to you! (Sir Mo Farah was knighted today!)

Mo Farah has been of the most dominating athletes over 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters in modern memory. Since 2011, Mo has lost one of the 5,000 meter titles and one of the 10,000m titles he ran (7 in each, six won). His last 10,000 meters may have been his finest race ever, in London, in front of his people. Mo Farah won his last track race in Zurich in a fantastic, battle to the final centimeters. It was the way for a modern gladiator to retire from the track.
