Briton Mo Farah joined the ranks of the all-time greats, becoming the second man to retain both Olympic track long distance titles after adding a brilliant 5,000m gold to his 10,000m.

On Day 2 of the athletics programme at Rio 2016, Elaine Thompson inherited the mantle of world’s fastest woman from fellow Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, as Mo Farah battled back from a fall to retain his 10,000m crown.

The new 5000m world record holder Joshua Cheptegei gives in depth interview from his home in Uganda. He opens up about the Mo Farah rivalry, uploading runs to Strava, and why his idol is Eliud Kipchoge.

The Olympic 10,000m and 5,000m champion at London 2012 and twice a winner of the same double at the IAAF World Championships since then, British distance runner Mo Farah is aiming to repeat the feat at Rio 2016. Should he do so, he will maintain his unbeaten record in major global events at both distances since the London Games.
