Or maybe its because people don't hold running around in the same esteem as other sports?

Its sad he's gone straight for Race.
Mo is well loved, and has been celebrated in the press and by the public following the Olympics.

He works hard, trains hard and competes in very very tough events that require stamina and tactics, he achievements are special.

I suspect most sports fans would tell you they think Tennis is tougher.
To me it is anyway, the skill set is much wider, the tactics is more indepth, the need to know how so many different players play, their strengths, weakness's shots etc. Its just harder to be at the top of that sport than it is at the top of Mo's.

That said, It is a surprise he wasn't at least third.
