This winning a gold medal thing is becoming a bit of a habit for Great Britain who added three more on day eight to take their tally to nine – with success coming in the rowing, cycling and athletics on another 'Super Saturday'.

The GB joy was delivered at the scenes of their recent successes: the velodrome and Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, home of the rowing. Yet it was the sight of Mo Farah powering home down the final straight inside the Olympic Stadium that could prove to be the iconic image of this Olympics from a British perspective.

Farah's dreams of a third consecutive gold medal - and the second in the 10,000m following his double triumph at London 2012 - was nearly derailed by aan early fall when his American training partner, Galen Rupp, accidentally tripped him.

But Farah bouonced back immediately, and held off a spirited last-lap attack from Kenyan Paul Kipngetoch Tanui to clinch a thrilling victory.

More on the sad news Pele will not be able to attend tonight because of ill health. 

"I'm not in physical condition to take part in the opening ceremony," Pele said.

"Only God is more important than my health. In my life, I've had fractures, surgeries, pain, hospital stays, victories and defeats. And I've always respected those who admire me."
