Mo Farah, first Muslim GB gold medallist

Russia tops Muslim medallist

 

 

As the Olympic Stadium emptied following the end of the closing ceremony and with the country basking in the warm glow of a hugely successful fortnight, Muslim athletes could take pleasure in the fact that across the board they had done exceptionally well.

The standout star of the Games had to be Team GB's own Mohamed ("Mo") Farah - the Mogadishu born runner destroying the competition in both the 5k and 10k. The gold medal he won in the 5k was especially impressive given the raised national expectations following his 10k win. All of that meant nothing however, as the cheers of 80,000 fans in the stadium, and an entire country sat watching at home, pushed him over the finish line in a fantastic performance, before he prostrated on the track. His personalised celebration, the 'Mobot' went viral, with London Mayor Boris Johnson copying it at a press conference later, and even Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, arguably the most famous athlete in the world, performing the celebration after winning the 4x100m men's relay in world record-breaking time.

Building on the success of the Olympics

 

 

Congratulations to the organisers and volunteers in staging a hugely successful Olympic Games. The accomplished showcase overwhelmed many sceptics. Most of the credit must go to all the athletes, not least the 65 British medallists, the highest number in over 100 years. London was transformed for 17 days by a feel-good atmosphere, overpowering the current climate of economic doom and despondency. The turnaround began with Danny Boyle's intricately produced opening ceremony, even if much was too parochial to be appreciated fully by much of the watching outside world. The sea change in attitudes was aided and abetted by an army of 70,000 volunteers, exposing a face of Britain rarely seen. www.muslimnews.co.uk/paper/index.php?article=5924

COMMENT

 

What is multiculturalism, anyway?

One of the most common themes over the past few years has been that of identity and culture. Last summer, there was intense scrutiny about the identity of the rioters. Who were they, where did they live and what was their socio-economic condition? Then we have seen the multiple references to multiculturalism in political discussions and debates. What does the word even mean? My laptop screen has left a squiggly red line under every trace of the word. It's also lost.

Yet perhaps now, following this summer's Olympic Games, we can finally stop thinking about the concept of multiculturalism and simply move on. While British Olympians have exceeded all expectations, one of Team GB's athletes has dominated a number of headlines – and someone has even created a tribute Tumblr blog depicting him "running away from things" that received a million views a day after it was launched. Britain is proud of Mohamed "Mo" Farah, and is not afraid to show it.
