The USA great breaks his own world record. The Olympic champion defends his world title - which we knew he was going to do - and finishes second in the 1500m in 4:17.52.

He sets a new best of 9,045 points - it was previously 9,039.

Jaunty Johnson:  Farah is fantastic, don't think he is the greatest ever though... Steve Redgrave has 4 olympic golds and 9 world championships

Just a brief breather from Mo Farah. 

USA's Ashton Eaton, who has similar superhero powers to the Briton, will win gold but needs to run about 4:18 in the 1500m to break the world record.

It is live on BBC One and this website.

So that's where the flag came from.

Let's watch the closing moments again eh?

Surely some burger chain will start selling the Triple-Double?

Richard Carter: #Mo, external Farah Britain's best sportsman? Will have to get Sir Steve in the Cube to settle it @Schofe, external#bbcathletics, external

Mo Farah, on being called the greatest British sportsman by Brendan Foster:  "That is amazing. 

"We had people such as David Beckham and the rest of the guys, we have had so many legends and to be in the same category as them is amazing. If you believe in something you can get there. Do what you can." 

"I never doubt myself. I love the sport I love what I do and I just want to continue that. Everything comes with obstacles and you just have to get them out of the way. Sometimes you have to appreciate, you see me on the ground and that is when I appreciate."

Mo Farah, speaking to BBC Sport: "It is great to make history. I didn't feel great, my hammy was playing up a bit but the medical team helped me through it and tonight come out here and make a double means so much to me. 

"I was kinda getting nervous for the first time in a little while but thanks to all the medical team. It was amazing to do it.

"Hopefully the younger kids watching me will be encouraged. I want to be able to do something for them. 

"I am so looking forward to spending time with my family. I just want to go home and celebrate with them."

Apologies for not giving you a blow-by-blow of the high jump - we were sidelined by some British athlete who just won the triple-double.

Anyway, Russia's Maria Kuchina had a faultless competition and won at a height of 2.01m. 

Croat Blanka Vlasic (silver) also cleared the height as did Russia Anna Chicherova (bronze), but all three failed at 2.03m so the gold went to the only athlete who cleared the heghts at the first time of asking.

Is Mo Farah Britain's greatest ever sportsperson?

"Mo is like a magician and he puts a spell over the whole field. He is playing mind games, he plays mind games at the start when he is jogging to get the water. He messes with them and goes to the front and controls the race but the whole time his mind is working and is ready to react whenever anyone might try to upset his plan. There is nothing they can do."

Mo Farah is using a selfie sticks. I guess not everyone is perfect.

"He is fantastic. There is a great Mike Tyson quote 'everyone has a plan until they get knocked out'. 

"Mo's rivals got knocked out by Mo today."

Brendan Foster
Olympic medallist and BBC athletics commentator

"Mo is up there with the greats of distance running. Haile Gebrselassie, Kenenisa Bekele, Emil Zatopek and Lasse Viren. Nobody has worked out how to beat him and he's got the Rio Olympics next year and then maybe the Worlds again in London in 2017.

"This guy is still adding to his record books. He is getting better as he gets older.

"He has always been a hard worker and that work is channelled into one thing - him producing in the finishing straight.

"I reckon they held the start of the Newcastle-Arsenal match so they could watch Mo Farah."
