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.
