The Brownlee’s roll in the Men’s Olympic Triathlon – the medal winners were exactly who you expected; no upsets here

Recap of the Men’s Olympic 800 – this one was fast; Solomon and Symmonds ran well, but didn’t medal

Photo finish in the Olympic Women’s Triathlon – this one was a little more open than the men’s race

Photo gallery of the Olympic Men’s 1500 – Leo Manzano grabs a surprise silver with an amazing finish

Mo Farah doubles in the 5000 and 10000 – and he made it look pretty easy against strong competition
