This is the greatest track and field feat since Usain bolt. I don't see this being done again in the next 20-40 years years. 5/10 podium, marathon gold
GOAT
i mean it only took 70 years to equal a man (or something close to 70)
Since they couldn’t run it until 1984 I think your post is essentially irrelevant

Not to take away from Zatopek but the depth now is so much better, making this today much harder. Also, hate women much, SLOWinNORCAL? Already embarrassed yourself going after Goucher on miles run by Hassan and now this!?
I’m not generally one to be too critical of Jon and the brojos, but how did they not even write a preview for this race, and only give it a cursory mention on the pod. I think anyone with an interest in distance running could see this had the potential to be a classic given the lineup and Sifan ending her triple.
Apart from the result, this was a masterclass in conserving energy during a marathon from Hassan. She held the blue line all the way, didn’t push the hills, withstood the temptation to go faster when she felt good before 20k (as she just told in an interview), took all her bottles and so forth.
