    Pedestrian is how Brendan Foster describes the pace in the men's 5,000m. It's like a lazy Sunday stroll. Five laps remain and Mo Farah is in front alongside his team-mate Andy Vernon.

    On the early stages of the men's 5,000m: "You would have thought, because Mo Farah has had that illness, someone would think about stretching and testing him here. But they don't seem to want to. Mo seems to mesmerize them."

  6. Men's 5,000m finalpublished at 15:39 British Summer Time 17 August 2014

    It was at the European Championships in Barcelona four years ago that Mo Farah's path to long-distance glory began. "This is where it started and you can't forget where you started," said Farah, who is aiming to match his 5,000m and 10,000m golden feats of 2010.

    Can anyone challenge the Brit? Frenchman Bouabdellah Tahri and Belgium's Bashir Abdi will try.

    It's the Mo Show. Mo Farah is bouncing on the track like a boxer getting ready for a bout. The Olympic and world champion, hot favourite to complete the double double, looks relaxed. We're seconds away from the off.

    "What a story. Antje Moldner-Schmidt recovered from cancer and came back a couple of months later. She was seventh at the Olympic Games in London. Here she took the last hurdle like a 400m hurdle and strode away, looking strong and comfortable. It is an inspirational victory with a great story behind it."

    The next event on the track is the women's steeplechase final and this race is expected to be a Scandinavian ding-dong between Charlotta Fouberg and Sandra Eriksson.

    Sweden's Fouberg already owns a gold medal for confidence, saying ahead of these championships: "I think I can win gold and if I say I'm going to do something I normally do it."

    What a few weeks for Matthew Hudson-Smith, who follows silver in the 400m with gold in the relay and tells BBC One: "I can't believe what's happened. I just can't. It's been a hell of a journey. I'm enjoying it and it's fun."

    Delighted relay team-mate Michael Bingham adds: "When Matthew first came into the team we were trying to make sure the environment was good for him. But what he did was chilled the whole environment out and that allowed us to keep the same camaraderie between the team - and win gold."

    Has Cooly the cow usurped Berlino the Bear , external- mascot for the 2009 World Championships in Berlin - as the best mascot in athletics history?

    We thought Berlino's place in history would be unchallenged for decades, but along came acrobatic Cooly, the pole vaulter supreme, to wow the crowds in Zurich. If Cooly's antics have passed you by, you can watch the best moments on this website.

    On the men's gold-medal winning 4x400m relay team: "They believe in each other and run for each other. When you have that camaraderie in the warm-up area it puts you in a good place before you even start.

    "Martyn Rooney knew his other team members had worked hard to put him in that winning position. It was a great performance, rewarded with another gold medal and a good time."
