Great Britain's Mo Farah has insisted that his latest 5,000m gold medal proves that he did not fluke his previous achievements at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
The 33-year-old made history on Saturday night as he became only the second male Olympian to defend a 'double-double' of 5,000m and 10,000m titles.
"I can't believe it. My legs were a bit tired after the 10k - I don't know how I recovered. People were bringing me food in my hotel room," Farah told BBC Sport after his win.
"It shows I didn't just fluke it in London, to do it again is incredible. I just want to see my kids and hang this medal around their necks.
"I was surprised by the first lap, I thought it was going to be a slow race. They had a plan, they wanted to take the sting out of me but when I hit the front, I wasn't letting anyone past me."
Farah's latest gold represents his fourth Olympic title.
