Same actors, new set: Britain again seeks 3 golds in 1 day

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — In British sporting lore, it's known as "Super Saturday."

This weekend comes the sequel. Same actors, different set.

Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Greg Rutherford won gold medals within an hour of each other at the 2012 London Games, creating one of the biggest roars in Olympic history.

By luck or planning, all three will be competing for gold during the same session again at the Rio de Janeiro Games, and again on a Saturday evening.

"We all come here strongly," said Rutherford, who won the long jump after Ennis-Hill won the heptathlon and before Farah took gold in the 10,000 meters.
