Nickelodeon slimes Olympic athlete Mo Farah for Kids' Choice Award

The 2016 Kids' Choice Awards will take place on March 12 and to celebrate the run up to the event, Nickelodeon slimed British Olympic gold medalist Mo Farah as the sportsman accepted an honorary Kids Choice Award for UK Inspirational Athlete.

Farah’s daughters, Aisha, Amani and Rhianna presented him with the coveted award at his home in Portland, Oregon before he received a world-famous Nickelodeon sliming. Viewers can watch Farah get slimed during the 2016 Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards on Sunday 13th March at 5pm on Nickelodeon.

Nickelodeon presented Mo Farah with the UK Inspirational Athlete award in acknowledgement of his outstanding athletic career. Mo is the UK’s greatest ever distance runner and is an inspiration to kids across the nation. He is a double Olympic, World and European Champion and recently became the first athlete to win three long-distance doubles at successive World Championships.

“Im so proud of all of my athletic achievements and to have them recognised by Nickelodeon feels incredible. Growing up, I was inspired by many great athletes and I hope that this award will motivate kids from the UK and across the world to follow their dreams. My daughters absolutely loved sliming me; thanks Nickelodeon for this once in a lifetime honour!”
