BBC Commentators Lose Their Shit [off air] Over 10,000m Final ....
This is the moment BBC commentators went wild with excitement as athlete Mo Farah crossed the 10,000m finish line winning another gold for Great Britain.
The behind the scenes footage shows pundits 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.

Go, team GB (that name is so naff, I cannot). Louis Smith has been a start throughout these games. Is he really going to retire after these games though?
He's influenced so many people this year though, so hopefully in 4 years time the gymnastics team will be even stronger than it is now
I do like Louis Smith though. He's very savvy, and not afraid to put himself out there as a spokesman for his sport. It doesn't hurt that he's handsome and charismatic, too. LOL.
But yeah, I wish him all the best, and hope to see more of him in the future.
What do you think about Katrina Johnson Thompson (wow, what a mouthful). I think she's a lovely, lively Scouser.
And I think she's great! Young, and very promising for the next olympics.
(And she's adorable!)
Yeah, KJT is lovely. She's still a junior, I think?
Yay for seeing Louis in 2016!
