10 legendary athletes who we bid goodbye to at the Rio Olympics

Mo Farah

Farah became the first Brit to win the Men’s 5,000m and 10,000m

Mo Farah is one of the most celebrated names in long-distance running and celebrated a historic “double-double” when he won gold at both the Men’s 5,000m and 10,000m for in Rio. Farah is the first Brit to win both the events when he took gold in London 2012 and was able to break Africa’s stranglehold on the podium places for long-distance running.

The 33-year-old has announced his plans to retire after the 2017 World Championships and he will be sorely missed when Tokyo 2020 rolls around.
