He was Mohamed Farah. One of the greatest athletes in history, with four Olympic gold medals around his neck – two at his home in London in 2012, as many in Rio in 2016. He was an admittedly hazy fairy tale, a hero British dubbed by the crowd and ennobled by Queen Elizabeth II. He embodied a resplendent sun and a zone of shadow too, due to his central collaboration (2011-2017) with the very controversial Alberto Salazar, expert in black magic in test tubes. Mohamed Farah was all that and more, and, as if that weren’t enough, the former king of the 5,000 and 10,000 meters chose to be someone else. Himself. Finally.
