The first 9400 of the 10 was just a tempo run.
It’s easy to win when you dope
Handed it to the athlete with superior kicking speed, exact replay of men's 5000. When will they learn

Why? She's never been an Ethiopian runner.

In 2028, they should run the 10k on Saturday morning and the marathon that evening, to see if Hassan can do that double, too. Probably so.
Then Emil Zatopek’s 5,000/10,000 marathon gold...doped to the gills.
You're a clown lamdumb.
She came to the Netherlands age 15 as a refugee, not for running purposes. Was studying to become a nurse when she started running for fun.

In the 10000m, the leaders went through 5k in 15:49.86, and she ran in the caboose for most of the race, passing about a sec later, so she had been technically running slower than her marathon PB pace. Then they sped up, but never got close to being faster than her 10000m PB pace until the last 2 laps. It might as well have been a pre marathon shakeout run or one of those glycogen supercompensation runs. Supershoes and fancy track helped, as well.

The thing is it's really really hard to frontrun a race and "run the kick" out of the fast runners if they also have decent endurance. Jakob tried it on the 1500m and it failed because he had to do all the work himself. The Ethiopians tried it as a team for part of the 10000m race but abandoned the plan for individual medal chances - leaving Kejelcha out to die and handing the title to Cheptegei once the pace slowed down.
Assefa could have pushed the pace on the uphills and dropped Hassan, but this also comes with significant risk of blowing up your own race. In the end she chose the safer option that would yield a guaranteed medal, but a reduced chance of gold.

Alain Mimoun....
Zatopek's shadow until the marathon.
He became the sun.

don't believe it at all
but technically seen, following your 'logic'
than all in the main pack must've had the same juice
so
what is yr problem?
I am not any part of the letrun "everyone is doping" peanut gallery, I think a lot of elites are just that good, born and raised at altitude multi-generations and genetics that make them ridiculously compact and light compared to muscle strength.
HOWEVER
Until WADA sits down and explains clearly why Sifan Hassan appears on the biological passport watchlist (leaked by FancyBears) back when she was absolutely no-one and wasn't even part of NOP yet. I'll never accept her
Especially considering there is that study that says athletes who dope during their early years get to keep those gains later even when they stop
All WADA has to do is make a statement and clear her, she could even petition them or give them permission for details or not even discuss details just a general "it was fake" or "she was later cleared".
I know Russia does classical misinformation where 99% of a leak will be original and real and then they slip in their edit to malign someone who wasn't actually implicated but it would make absolutely no sense to just add her name in back then, no-one would care

I would put her on the list because she's managed by Jos "#1 doping supplier in the 90s" Hermens. I don't think she's doping but being managed by him warrants an extra look
Assefa knew Hassan had it and was willing to run into her hoping to somehow impede or DQ Hassan. Assefa should be DQ’d because this was completely an open road race. Her actions were deliberate. But congratulations to Hassan to proving something so daunting to be possible.

WOW, 2 bronzes on the track and then a GOLD to cap off the games.
For all of the people on here that say Hassan is dirty - I don't think she is, but I don't even care. What she just did is crazy impressive even if she was juiced to the gills. The best we have in the US could not medal in any of these 3 events. No Cranny. No Schweizer. No Valby. No Sisson. She medaled in all freakin' 3. I can't believe she pulled that off! I thought she was nuts when she announced that line-up. Has anyone ever done anything like this with this kind of difficulty level. Who cares if she is juiced (I don't believe that she is).
