At the London 2012 Olympics, on 4 August, Farah won the 10,000 m gold in a time of 27:30.42.
This was Great Britain's first Olympic gold medal in the 10,000 m, and came after two other gold medals for the country in the same athletics session.
His training partner, Galen Rupp of the United States, took second place.
At the time both runners were a part of the Nike Oregon Project coached by Alberto Salazar.
Farah stated that he would observe his Ramadan fast later in the year.
On 11 August 2012, Farah made it a long-distance double, winning the 5000 metres in a time of 13:41.66.
The noise from the crowd in the 5,000 m race was so loud it made the camera shake and distorted the photo-finish image.
He dedicated the two golds to his twin daughters.

On 23 August 2012, Farah returned to the track at a Diamond League meet in Birmingham, where he capped off a winning season with another victory over a distance of two miles (3.2 km).
