Capping Britain's most successful Olympic day in over a century, Farah hugged wife Tania and his young stepdaughter Rhianna, who had joined him trackside after the dramatic win.
In a stunning display of tenacity, talent and speed, Farah beat Kenenisa Bekele, the Ethiopian 5,000m and 10,000m World and Olympic record holder, to claim Olympic gold in front of an 80,000 home crowd and millions of fans watching on television.
