Athlete

The Resume

    (March 23, 1983- )
    Born in Mogadishu, Somalia
    Resides in London
    Long distance runner
    Gold medalist in the 5,000 meter and 10,000 meter races at the 2012 Summer Olympics
    Recipient of one gold and one silver medal at the 2011 Track and Field World Championships and three golds and one silver medal over the course of three European Track and Field Championships

Why he might be annoying:

    He has the Mobot victory dance, which was created while being a guest on a tv show.
    He had a meme where he was photoshopped running away from things.
    He has an endorsement deal with Nike.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Bucking the trend for long-distance runners, he became a celebrity due to his success at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
    His first gold medal in the 10,000 meter race was the third track and field medal Great Britain won that night and the sixth of that day of the Olympics. To say the hosts were overjoyed was an understatement.
    As he was accepting his gold medal for winning the 5,000 meter race, Usain Bolt came out and did the Mobot while he was simultaneously doing Bolt's signature pose.
    Prior to moving to England, he spent his early years in troubled Somalia and arrived in England broke and with minimal knowledge of English.
    He has his own foundation, which aids troubled East Africa.
