Mo Farah crosses the finish line and wins his second Gold Medal of the London Games.
He was the sixth man to have won both the 5,000m and 10,000m at the same Games . The others are Finland's
Hannes Kolehmainen, Czech Emil Zatopek, the Soviet Vladimir Kuts, Finland's Lasse Viren - who
managed the double
in both 1972 and 1976 - and Ethioipia's Kenenisa
Bekele.
Mo Farah became only the second athlete to be named as the European Athlete of the Year for a second consecutive year.
Swedish triple jumper Christian Olsson in 2003 and 2004 was the first.
