Team GB's Greg Rutherford jumped into Olympic history, winning gold for Team GB on Saturday – Britain’s 13th gold medal at the games.
The 25-year-old athlete stormed to victory moments after Jessica Ennis had taken gold in the heptathlon.
Rutherford had suffered a series of hamstring tears leading up to the Games, but he managed to finish ahead of Australia's Mitchell Watt, who took silver with leap of 8.16m.
Rutherford's win marks a sensational night for the Brits, with a trio of golds at the Olympic Stadium on "Super Saturday".
Mo Farah won the 10,000m, while Jessica Ennis won the women's heptathlon.
London mayor Boris Johnson said: "Team GB's gluttonous desire for gold shows no sign of being sated.
"Their extraordinary efforts have brought rapture to streets, parks and living rooms in London and all over the country if not the planet.
"It has been a remarkable first week and my hearty congratulations go to every single athlete that has taken part.
"They have entertained billions of people around the world and I for one cannot wait to see what they serve up for week two."
By the time that Farah had finished his lap of honour, he was draped in a Union Flag and carrying a giant Wenlock mascot in gold in his arms.
