Mo Farah does the double

Again,David Bowies Heroes blared over the speakers,just like it did last Saturday when British athletes won three gold within one hour. Without a doubt,Farah made a great Olympics for Britain even more unforgettable. Dejen Gebremeskel of Ethiopia threatened until 50 meters out but faded to take silver. Thomas Longosiwa of Kenya won bronze.

The 29-year-old timed his race to perfection once more and delivered a second gold by virtue of another pulsating dash to the finish.
