Chebet or Hassan, who had the better Olympic Games?

Hassan by a mile. 2 golds are nothing to sneeze at, but 5k and 10k are close enough, while marathon is a completely different beast and yet Hassan still clenched gold in a race that takes the most out of you only 36 hours after the 10k. No disrespect to Chebet, but that's not even close. I think what Hassan has just done is even more impressive than the triple in Tokyo. It's just impossibility made possible.
She was team mate of an American guy who won silver behind Mo Fara and never seen doing anything else again.
Even soccer players tell us its not easy or is impossible to play 3 games a week let alone run a marathon is the hardest condition on the back of a 10k, 1.5k etc. She is doper if ever i have seen one.
This Isn't the tour de France. You can't sneak saline into the testing lab. There's no way around it she's going to get tested after each medal. And she's going to pass all three cuz she's clean... Jealous losers.
Everyone loves to bring up Lance Armstrong. Like how it's so easy to beat testing. that was almost 20 years ago. And that wasn't the Olympics, they don't allow your coach to smuggle in saline in the Olympics.
Yeah maybe you could argue for one test you could have some crazy scheme orchestrated but for three tests in a row. Keep dreaming. She's the greatest. She's been tested for years at competitions much more stringent than Lance Armstrong ever faced.
I mean they're not a bunch of bozos they would pop her if she was cheating

You can't definitively say that because Chebet wasn't in the Marathon

Are you referring Galen Rupp, the bronze medal winner in the marathon at the 2016 Rio Olympics? The guy that was ranked #1 in the world in the 10,000m in 2014 after running 26:44, finished second in the Boston Marathon and won the Chicago Marathon in 2017?
You apparently missed the part where right after finishing the race she laid down flat on the ground for 2 minutes and vomitted. She also later said that she was experiencing dizziness as she celebrated.
Lasse Viren, Emil Zatopek, but never a women has done this. Hassan has stamped herself as the greatest female distance runner of all time.
Emil Zatopek? Did they even have the technology to do that in those day? What makes you say that they knew it was safe? Where did you read or hear that he did? WoW, there are too many questions to ask you about Emil "the doper" Zatopek. I suppose Paavo Nurmi took a car during some of his cross country wins?

The question was who had the better Olympics not the most impressive. Chebet has 2 Golds and Hassan 1 Gold and 2 Bronzes. Moreover, they raced each other twice and Chebet was faster. What is your definition of better?
I hate how she runs for the netherlands. you are ethiopian! don't give colonizers a free gold medal.
Although invaded by Italy, Ethiopia has never been colonized. I take your point that the Netherlands has a shameful history of colonization but it welcomed Hassan as a refugee and gave her a new start in the country of her choice. If she wants to run for them it’s her choice.
