The greatest somali runner is still CABDI BILLE

Facts dont lie.

Abdi Bile won two golds@1500m and usually competed in the 1500m race.

Maxamed Farah competes in wide array of distance such as 10k, 5k, cross X, and Marathons and half marathons.

He has 16 gold medals to Abdi Bile' 2 gold medals@1500m.

Head to head, It is almost silly to mention the two in the same breath statistically speaking off course.

Abdi bille was representing a nation and was the first somali to do so at such a prestigious global event..mo farah is a great humble athlete and wish him the best but you can not deny the fact that he represents himself.

Great differences in the number of events won but even a greater difference in the weight of those medals in terms of status..abdi bille run for all somalis mo farah runs for mo farah ..

ooh God!! can we just be happy for the brother's achievements with out comparing him with some one else that not even same as him or same generation???

yakhi not get tired of, mine guy better than yours or my goof is better than yours... my geel more handsome than yours!!!

war Allah fathligisa weydista.

If you ask people back home about Abdi Bile, chances are only the old generation will be familiar with the name. Mo Farax on the other hand, is a man who's name is not only known to Somali around the world but also a man who make Al-shabab change or put their jihad on hold just to watch him run.

Abdile might have represented the " the old Somalia" at one time, but Mo represent Somali everywhere today.

None of what you said made any sense. Mohamed Farah is actually running and put positive next to the Somali name in the Uk. All you UK folks now have someone that looks like you and has similar name putting a good image out there.

All it depends how you look at it.

Mo Farah is a legend!

Mo Farah is a legend!

Can't argue against tht..mo is the greatest field and track athlete the uk or even Europe ever produced and most definitely the most successful somali sport personality...

Thats until I break into the tottenham first team and captain the euro 2020 with Wales as the eventual winners.. ..
