Sifan Hassan 🇳🇱, a la postre ganadora, con Trihas Gebre 🇪🇸, que después de su valentía se tuvo que conformar con la 11ª posición.
➡️ Una Trihas, por cierto, ya alejada del deporte de élite y que fue madre. Reside actualmente en Guipúzcoa y ha visto cómo en 2023 le han quitado sus dos récords de España:
● 10K: @paula_swimmer - 31:23.
● Medio Maratón: @LauraLuengo - 1:09:41.

Put this side by side with Letesenbet’s fall at World Cross Country and you can imagine the empathy. This moment meant a lot and its on-brand for Gidey. No hesitation to check on Sifan as soon as she crossed.. it seemed like the first thing on her mind which says a lot.
International Fair Play Award nominee ✨

went to Texas to watch the WAC XC championship and was not disappointed to watch Utah Valley’s women upset win over CBU… rankings better change on that one, those Utah Valley women have an underrated squad, all except one returning next year too 🔥
COURSE RECORD: In her U.S. marathon debut, Sifan Hassan takes the @BankofAmerica#ChicagoMarathon course record in an unofficial time of 2:13:38! Amazing performance Sifan!

Stevige concurrentie op alle afstanden. Welke onderdelen Hassan ook kiest, de concurrentie in de strijd om het goud is sterker dan ooit.

No matter what happens this season, today meant a lot. Halimah & I talked about her goals & frustrations when she joined. I was REALLY rusty on coaching 800m, but she gave me trust. I’m so proud of her 1st 1:57 NR dealing with stresses of a new coach & training program
"I was like telling myself who the hell do I think I am?” 😮
@SifanHassan 's brilliant reaction to watching the drama of her TCS London Marathon victory back for the first time🤩

In 3mins, Sifan Hassan from London Marathon will teach you the greatest lesson for life & entrepreneurship. Goosebumps guaranteed!
Sifan ran her debut marathon while training through Ramadan and fasting and was pitted against the best athletes in the world.
Day before the race she said " I'm scared & feel stupid to show up for a marathon"
This is the story of her remarkable win this past Sunday.
-Within one hour of the race, she fell off the pace from the lead pack
-She was struggling with pain and stopped twice to stretch her hips.
-For elite runners, when they stop in a marathon their chances of winning is almost zero.
At this time the commentators said "She needs to stop and somebody needs to give her advice to step off and stop trying to run on. She may not know what to do in a marathon".
-But Sifan showed grit & resilience to stay on the course limping while her competitors raced ahead of her.
-At one point, she was nearly hit by the lead motorbike while trying to get to her water bottle.
-Later she offered water to her rivals.
-With every kilometre she closed the gap with the leaders and soon was with the pack.
-And 400meters away from the finish line she surged leaving her competition almost impossible to catch her.
Sifan won the race with a finish time of 2hr 18min 34 sec
After the finish she said “I learned to be patient and just to run my own race. Just keep going as much as possible and maybe i'll surprise myself.”
What makes Hassan’s story even more special is that she was born in Ethiopia but moved to the Netherlands aged 15 as a refugee where she moved into a shelter for asylum seekers.
Becoming a strong is not an event. It's a process.
Discipline is remembering what you want.
