On Sunday, Somali-born Mohamed "Mo" Farah was voted as the BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2017, the news outlet reported.
Farah, who's considered one of the> most successful British Olympic track athlete in modern history, couldn't attend the award ceremony in Liverpool and was presented the award on video link by his stepdaughter Rhianna.
The 34-year-old four-time Olympic champion who won his third successive world 10,000m gold medal in August is now "the first long-distance runner to win the Sports Personality award since Paula Radcliffe in 2002".
In a statement he made just minutes after the broadcast of the award ended, Farah said:
"It is pretty amazing and hard to think about. I didn't imagine I was ever going to win this but anything can happen. If you work hard you can achieve your dreams."
"I just cannot believe I have won," he added.
