RIO DE JANEIRO: Britain’s Mo Farah overcame a dramatic mid-race tumble to defend his Olympic 10,000m title on Saturday and extend his remarkable record at global championships.
The 33-year-old produced a trademark surge over the last 100 metres to time 27min 05.17sec over the 25-lap race. Kenyan Paul Tanui won silver in 27:05.64 with Ethiopian Tamirat Tola taking bronze.
