Here is the reactions from the BBC Commentators along with Denise Lewis and Colin Jackson's of Mo Farah win of the mens 5000m race at the London 2012 Olympics.
I'm a 38 yr old man at the time and I was nearly crying my eyes out with pride and passion, screaming at the t.v, go mo go mo while my baby slept upstairs, finally as a nation I felt all British people united, didn't matter what colour, race, religion, we kicked ass together, we were all behind mo (along with the competition, lol). Mo you made me very proud to be part of a multi cultural Britain.
tony davis love your comment Tony Davis I'm originally from Somalia and you made me proud to be British now. This is what makes Great Britain great people like you so thank you.
Poot Your opinion don't count in this go and find like minded people like you. Your what's wrong with this world right now. You will not get nowhere in life.
Agreed with Tony. Good stuff by all but Poot. Personally I was shouting as much as Colin Jackson on behalf of Mo - rightfully now Sir Mo, a true Brit in all but the accident of where any of us are born. There's nothing wrong with Patriotism but it can easily develop into xenophobia and small-mindedness.
Superbly put - apart from 'ass' when we less Yankified Brits say arse - but I admit that I too was screaming COME ON MO ad infinitum. This country thrives because of/not despite multi-culturalism.
The commentary was outstanding, if you watch other tv networks coverage of the last couple of laps, none of them capture the moment as well as those two did.
I was lucky enough to be in the stadium for this and 80,000 people were jumping up and down like Denise & Colin. Was great to see this clip when i got home still buzzing. These behind the scenes shots of olympic greats as excited as the rest of us has been a highlight of the olympics. Well done BBC for showing them.
THAT WAS AWESOME!!!! I was lucky enough to be there for the 10,000 and to say the atmosphere was electric doesn't do it justice!! SO PROUD at the way these olympics have been conducted!!
By far my favourite Olympic Games, was in the UK at the time with my gorgeous ex-girlfriend, and the buzz and feeling all through those weeks amongst the British public was brilliant. Super Saturday will forever live in my memory, as will the closing ceremony for entirely different reasons 😉
