Mo Farah swept to victory in the 10,000 metres at the Rio Olympics early this morning, giving Team GB a spectacular Super Saturday and reigniting the spirit of London 2012.
Farah overcame a fall when he was accidentally tripped by his American training partner Galen Rupp, before leaving his rivals in his wake in the final yards.

After the event, a clearly emotional Farah said: “I wasn’t going to let it go. I got up quickly. I thought about my family.
“I thought, ‘Get through; get through.’ I believed in myself.
