Rio Olympics 2016: Mo Farah admits he won his fourth Olympic gold medal by resting up in his room and doing NOTHING

MO FARAH has admitted that doing NOTHING was the crucial difference between his fourth Olympic gold and nowhere.

The Brit has now clinched the 5,000 metres and 10,000m double at consecutive Games after a thrilling sprint finish over the smaller distance.

But he reckoned it was sitting in his room and resting which helped win him a fourth Olympic title.

And the 33-year-old now has a Games gold for each of his four children - just as he had promised to do before his trip out to Brazil.

He said: "After the 10k I was feeling tired and I didn't know how I would recover. I stayed in my room, with just people bringing me food and resting up.

"But I can't believe I did it. It's every athlete's dream, but I can't believe it, it hasn't sank in.

"[I had to] keep people at bay for four years. I didn't just fluke it in London, then I did it again here.

"I just want to go home now and see my beautiful kids. I just want to hang the medals around their necks.

"Hussein, I got him this medal - and that's what drives me. Rhianna's got a medal, Aisha and Amani have got a medal."
