Video shows BBC commentators Colin Jackson, Denise Lewis and Michael Johnson literally screaming and jumping for joy as Farah powered home to win the sixth gold medal of the day. Lewis nearly broke her chair while Jackson held his head in his hands in disbelief at the day's achievements dubbed the greatest night in the history of British athletics. It was the first time a British man has won in the Olympic 10,000m race. The euphoria captured the mood of the stadium as the crowd roared home the long-distance runner to victory. Farah, 29, collapsed to the floor after crossing the line and described the gold-winning race as 'the best moment of my life'. The Somali-born athlete, who attended Feltham Community College and Isleworth and Syon School in London, then danced for joy around the track before greeting his heavily pregnant wife and daughter who joined him trackside after the dramatic win. It capped off a fantastic evening for Team GB which won three gold medals in a row in the athletics.
