Mo Farah Knighthood Backed By Cameron

David Cameron has said he would "warmly welcome" a recommendation for Mo Farah to be knighted.

The 30-year-old athlete achieved a historic double-double in Moscow on Friday night as he added two world titles to the twin Olympic triumphs from last summer.

The feat, completed by racing to 5,000m glory at the Luzhniki Stadium, sealed his status as perhaps the best British athlete in history.

Last summer he also took both the 5,000 and 10,000m crowns at London 2012.

Farah has had an incredible year

The Prime Minister said: "The Olympic and world double-double is one of the great sporting achievements.

"If the honours committee were to recommend Mo for a knighthood, I would warmly welcome it."

The Somalia-born, British-raised long-distance runner has been one of the stars of a remarkable period for sport in the UK.

Speaking after his victory on Friday he said: "What a year I've had. It has been, you know, hard work but I enjoyed this year.

"It is great being able to achieve what I have achieved.

"I can't quite believe it at all. It is something I never dreamt of. I am honoured to be able to achieve what I have."

Farah was awarded a CBE at the end of last year.
