Mo Farah - Britains Greatest Sportsman !?!

[Mick Mac]

Farah added the 5,000m to his 10,000m title at the World Championships - a feat he also achieved at the London Olympics in 2012 and the 2013 Worlds.

Foster said: "Mo is the greatest sportsman that Britain has ever had."

"We have had so many legends and to be in the same category as them is amazing," Farah responded.

I think it's hard to compare different sports, different periods.

Mo is the greatest in his sport and his period...

[Atticus]

No chance, zero World Records of any note.

[Jeremy]

Kris Akabusi was better.

[Otta]

Audley Harrison, hands down.

[KidKruger]

Needs a world rec, at least one.

He caned a good field yesterday tho.

Audley Harrison, hands up

Audley Harrison, face down

[indiepanda]

Have they forgotten Steve Redgrave already?

Or Chris Hoy & Bradley Wiggins?

He might be one of the best athletes we've produced but I think they are getting a bit carried away with "Greatest Sportsman"

He must surely be the finest in terms of domination of his sport (PDC/WDF split notwithstanding).

Cue debate on whether darts is a sport...!

[Mick Mac]
