— Usain Bolt got his third gold medal of London as Jamaica won the 4x100 relay, capping his perfect 3-for-3 Olympics with a world record. Bolt steadily pulled away over the last 100 meters to win in 36.84 seconds. The U.S. took silver.
— Allyson Felix won her third gold medal of the London Olympics, giving the United States a 20-meter lead after the second leg of the 4x400-meter relay and then watching teammate Sanya Richards-Ross bring home the victory.

It was the Americans' fifth straight Olympic title in the event.
— Mo Farah won the 5,000 meters to complete an Olympic distance double for Britain. The Somali-born Farah won the 10,000 meters on Britain's "Super Saturday" last weekend, the same night Jessica Ennis won the heptathlon and Greg Rutherford the long jump.

American star Destinee Hooker, the second-best scorer at the London Olympics, was held to 14 points.
