winning gold in the Olympic Stadium in Rio.

After a scare midway through the race, when he fell,

the athlete powered past the leaders in the final lap

In the heptathlon, Jessica Ennis-Hill narrowly

No British athlete had ever won a third Olympic title on the track,

but Farah's not lost a 10,000 metre race since 2011,

and as he coasted his way towards the front

In the tenth lap, however, came a moment of drama.

Accidentally tripped by training partner Galen Rupp,

Farah fell, but the reigning champion wasn't going to let that

end his race, Farah quickly covering to get back among the leading pack.

COMMENTATOR: Tanui is giving it everything,

I just want to continue doing what I enjoy.

I work hard and spend a lot of time away from my family and everything.

Back in 2012, Greg Rutherford's gold had kick-started British athletics'

unforgettable "Super Saturday" and at one stage he looked on course

COMMENTATOR: Day 22 and Rutherford has taken the lead.

But in a competition where the standard has improved

with every round, no-one could match American winner Jeff Henderson.

Are you hinting that this may be the last one?

Next week in the 5,000 metres he will aim to complete his quest

for a second successive double Olympic gold.

Another momentous day could lie in store.

Meanwhile in the pool there was yet another gold medal for the American

final, the final race of his professional career.

Among those picking up the silver was Adam Peaty.

Well, there's plenty more action ahead.

Natalie Pirks is at the Olympic Park.

It was a "Super Saturday". Are we going to get a "Super Saturday"

Natalie? It could be that way, because Britain are guaranteed gold

in the velodrome, but who will it be? The two are team-mates and room

mates, which would be awkward. They are in the men's individual sprint

later. Nick Dempsey is guaranteed silver in the windsurfing. Justin

Rose is one shot ahead in the golf, that's 2.40pm your time. Andy Murray

is defending his title against Juan Martin del Potro at 7.30pm UK time.

Max Whitlock is in the floor, in which he is the silver medallist

from the World Championships and the pommel, in which he is the world

champion. Louis Smith will go in the pommel final. He's the Olympic

silver medallist, so Britain don't get a medal in that event that would

be a disappointment for them. And it's the big one tonight. It's the

men's 100 metre final. Can Usain Bolt do the unprecedented treble,

treble by successfully defending the three times he's won at the last two

Olympics? That all gets under way at around 2.00am UK time. A massive day

here in Rio. Natalie, thank you. The Islamist group, Boko Haram,

has accused his deputy, Tom Watson, of talking nonsense over claims

that hard left activists Mr Watson says the evidence

is beyond dispute. Our political correspondent,

Ben Wright, joins me. It used to be top of the political

parties people would have a quiet word if they have a row, but not

here? It is not normal for leaders of political parties to say their

deputies are talking nonsense. But there is nothing normal about the

events around the Labour Party. He said some people from the hard left

from factions and organisations banned from joining the party were

infiltrating Labour and trying to influence the leadership election.

He says there is evidence for this. Labour's numbers have swelled

dramatically in the last few months, 500,000 members now. But in response

to these complaints Jeremy Corbyn told the Observer that these claims

are nonsense, he has seen no evidence of entryism, and thinks the

Labour Party shouldn't be frightened of all these new members. It is

extraordinary. The vast majority of Labour MPs are despairing of Jeremy

Corbyn, but he still has a lot of strong support among members. Quite

how strong that support is will be shown in the leadership contest next

month. Ben, thank you. Torrential rain has caused
