The Somalia-born Londoner epitomises the grace, courage, charisma and talent we’ve watched for the past two weeks. He and many of his peers have shown us the best of humanity. It’s been brilliant. It’s been great telly. The talk is of an Olympic legacy. This is it: memories of sporting excellence. Here are 26 photos of Mo’s stirring show – with added Usain Bolt. C’mon – do the Mo commotion:
