"It's not what you do when you fall down.
It's what you do once you get back up that counts the most."
August 13, 2016. Mo Farah's performance in Rio's 2016 Olympics was inspirational. Early in the 10K race, Mo Farah was tripped up by another competitor. After being tripped and pushed to the side, Mo fell to the ground falling from first to 15th. As Mo tumbled out of the frontline, Mo watched others pass him by but remained calm. Mo picked himself up, got back in line and battled against 35 opponents to achieve the come back from behind victory and take 1st Place.
It goes to show that being a competitor isn't about falling down accepting defeat or dwelling on unfair turn of events/circumstances. Being a competitor means accepting change, adapting and getting up when you fall. Truly was a heart racing and inspirational race.
