Mo Farah may not have had the fairytale end to his track career that he - or indeed, any of the hilariously devastated BBC sports commentators - expected on Saturday night, but it seems that he's already looking to put that part of his career behind him.
Farah came second in the 5,000 metre final at the World Athletics Championships in London, a race that he was expected to win - but now the 34-year-old, who was given a knighthood earlier this year, says that going forward he wants to be known by his full name, Mohamed.
Farah will continue to run but will focus on road racing after savaging the media with comments that accused it of trying to 'destroy' his career.
"My road name is Mohamed," he said. "I just feel like Mo is done. I need to forget about what I’ve achieved and what I’ve done.”
Dunno about you, but 'Mohamedbot' doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
Twitter had things to say, of course...
People accusing Mohamed Farah of using drugs simply can't comprehend that the best ever British athlete is black and on top of that muslim.

Mohamed Farah says he no longer wants to be called 'Mo'.
Yep, Good for him. No more lazy name shortening.

Goodbye Mo Farah and his clouds of suspicion, hello Mohamed Farah, totes cleans.— Feargal McKay (@fmk_RoI) August 14, 2017
For the love of God @Mo_Farah has not changed his name. Just like Daz is short for Darren, Mo is short for Mohamed #GetOverIt
