Olympic Stadium is roaring for Mo Farah, and for the rest of his family. The British distance runner turned on the jets on the final lap to run away with the men's 10,000 meters on Saturday night. Farah collapsed to the track in tears, then made the shape of a heart to tell 80,000 adoring fans that the feeling was mutual. Minutes later, Farah's wife and stepdaughter met him on the track, and he scooped up his little girl in a warm embrace. The family posed for pictures as the cheers continued, a family portrait that will be difficult to top. —Jon Krawczynski — Twitter http://www.twitter.com/APKrawczynski ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.
