[Rio 2016] Highlights From The Olympics
[1] Neymar was the hero as Brazil won a first-ever Olympic football gold after a dramatic penalty shootout. Superstar Neymar put the hosts ahead in stunning fashion with a 25-yard free-kick before the break.
Meanwhile, Germany hauled themselves level in the second-half when Schalke's Max Meyer fired home into the bottom corner. Neither side could find a winner in normal time as the game went into the added 30.
Nils Petersen saw his spot kick saved leaving Neymar to sweep home to spark stunning scenes of celebration.









[2] Mo Farah came to Rio a double champion, he leaves a long-distance legend.
Mo Farah stormed to gold in the 5,000m overnight to become a double Olympic champion for the second time.
Farah, who already had one gold medal under his belt from his 10,000m victory earlier in the Games, added a second tonight to complete the long distance double for a second time following double success in London four years ago.
In doing so Farah becomes only the second-ever man to do it emulating the legendary Lasse Viren, the famous "flying Finn", who did the very same 40 years ago in Montreal.
Ethiopia's Hagos Gebrhiwet followed him home to take silver with Bernard Lagat of the United States grabbing bronze in third.
