5,000 Metres & 10,000 Metres

Mo Farah completes historic distance double-double with 5,000 metres gold – repeating the feat he achieved at London 2012. The 33-year-old triumphed in the 5,000m final in Rio to extend his tally as Britain's most successful Olympic track and field athlete of all time. Farah won in 13 minutes 3.30 seconds as Scot Andrew Butchart finished sixth. "It shows I didn't just fluke it in London. To do it again is incredible. I can't believe it," said Farah. Farah's was Britain's 27th gold in Rio and their 65th medal, matching the haul at the 2012 Games in London.
