Hodder & Stoughton admires Sir Mo's courage for revealing his experience as a trafficking victim at a young age. His memoir TWIN AMBITIONS, published in 2013, is based on the story he felt he could share at the time. It is now clear that he did not wish to disclose certain difficult early experiences, and we respect his decisions then and now. On August 4, 2012, during "Super Saturday," Mo Farah faced pain and hardship to claim gold in the 10,000m, and in doing so moved from being a talented athlete to a national treasure. A week later, he claimed his second gold in the 5000m, achieving something no British runner had done before. In 2016, Mo secured another astonishing triumph at the Rio Olympics, defending both his titles to complete an extraordinary double-double. Every record has been shattered before him: European track records at 1500m, indoor 5000m and 10,000m, British records at 5000m, indoor 3000m, and 10k on the road have all fallen to Mo Farah: the boy from Somalia who came to Britain at eight years old, leaving behind his twin brother, with few English words and a natural talent for running. TWIN AMBITIONS is much more than a biography of a great Olympian. It is a touching human story of a man who grew up under difficult circumstances, separated from his family at a young age, who struggled to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to become Britain's most decorated Olympic track athlete.
