Great Britain's Mo Farah won a fourth Olympic gold medal, as he successfully defended his 5,000-metre title on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro's Olympic Stadium, just a week on from doing the same in the 10,000.

Widely tipped to defend the title he claimed at London 2012, Farah, 33, bested USA's Paul Kipkemoi Chelimo to win the gold medal, as shown by NBC Olympics:
