British distance runner Mo Farah recovered from a dramatic fall to defend his 10,000m title as Jamaica's Elaine Thompson ended the Olympic reign of compatriot Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce to claim 100m gold. The 33-year-old Briton on Saturday brought the Olympic Stadium crowd roaring to its feet after conjuring a trademark surge down the home straight to win in 27min 5.17sec. Farah, aiming to become only the second man since legendary Finn Lasse Viren in 1972 and 1976 to complete a 5000m-10,000m double, was left stunned after being sent crashing to the track by training partner Galen Rupp on the 10th lap.
