It was in London where Mo honed his athletic skills, ultimately winning four Olympic gold medals, six World Championship golds and five European Championship titles, along with breaking the British marathon record. He was also knighted by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace for his services to athletics and continues to be an inspiration for young athletes across England.
