Olympic runner, Mo Farah has a message for struggling Gen Z: ‘I was a child trafficked, but I never gave up on myself’

It’s no secret that Gen Z is struggling. They’re unemployed in the millions, feeling anxious about the future, and getting told that their shot at building a career is about to get bleaker thanks to AI. But few understand what it’s like to feel the odds are stacked against you before you even start, quite like Sir Mo Farah.

And the Olympic legend has a no-nonsense message for young people: Don’t let a bad hand stop you from playing the game. Life will knock you down, but your success is your responsibility.
