RIO DE JANEIRO — Mo Farah of Britain became the first man in 40 years to win gold medals in the 5,000 and 10,000-meter races in two separate Olympic Games. He won the 5,000 on Saturday night with his trademark fast finish. Last early on, Farah slowly moved his way up the field, finally joining the leaders with five laps to go. Lasse Viren of Finland was the last man to win those double-golds at two Olympics, completing the feat at the 1972 and 1976 Games. Farah had performed as well as expected heading into the final Saturday night, but his Olympics were not without some nervous moments.
