Elaine Thompson and Mo Farah’s “double-double”
Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson superseded Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce as the Caribbean island’s queen of the track, the 24-year-old beating her elder compatriot in the 100m and then adding the 200m to her haul.
Great Britain’s Mo Farah won his fourth Olympic gold as he became only the second man to retain the 5,000m and 10,000m titles.
He went on to triumph in the same events in two successive world championships and repeated the feat in Rio, emulating Finnish great Lasse Viren at the 1972 Munich and 1976 Montreal Games.
