The stars did align for Mo. He spent much of his career getting manhandled by superior athletes who actually belong on the all-time list, and only started getting good when they declined and eventually moved to the roads.
6th at Worlds in 2007, didn't even make it out of his heat in the Olympics in 2008, 7th at Worlds in 2009, 1st at Worlds in 2011, then the double at the Olympics in 2012. Prior to 2011, he was "in contention" in the same way guys like Solinsky and Tegenkamp were (good enough to make Worlds/Olympics but absolutely zero chance of medaling). Mo went from being a middling talent with no kick to an almost unbeatable racer with a lethal finish. At the age of 27. But Aden only held the stopwatch, right?
Farah already had a faster 1500m PR before he joined the NOP than Solinsky or Tegenkamp ever had.
Aden was NEVER Farah's coach. He was coached by Alan Storey who was not as hands on and didn't go on training camps
Mo had a faster 1500m time and that matters because...? How many world medals did he win in that period because he was faster than Solinsky and Teg? Oh that's right, zero. What a dumb argument.
It's no surprise that someone of your intellectual ability actually believes that Jama and Mo barely know each other and have no real connection.
