Mo Farah's victory in the 10,000 meters on Saturday night practically shook the earth under Olympic Stadium from the roar of the crowd.

On Sunday, it shook one Mo time.

Farah returned to the stadium for his medal ceremony and most of the 80,000 in attendance thundered through "God Save the Queen" as he stood on the podium.

With a bright smile on his face, Farah waved to the crowd and walked off the track like the champion he is.

The night belongs to the sprinters. The moment was all his.
