(SOUNDBITE) (English) OLYMPIC 5,000M AND 10,000M CHAMPION MO FARAH OF GREAT BRITAIN SAYING OF 10,000M WIN:

"In my head I was telling myself: 'I'm going to get there, I have to get there, dig in, dig in'. Got great support from the crowd and it gave me a bit more boost, that extra 10 per cent I think came from the crowd"

He also had some words about fellow Olympian Usain Bolt.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) OLYMPIC 5,000M AND 10,000M CHAMPION MO FARAH OF GREAT BRITAIN SAYING:

"Oh Usain (Bolt) is a legend. He's just great. He's something we need for the sport and I just can't believe he did the 'Mobot' (Farah's own arms on head celebration) as he was breaking the world record. I think it's going to stay there forever that. So it's just great for the sport and he's a great guy"

The 29-year old if the first British athlete to win both races in a single Olympics.
