distance. Her first race at the event was in Stanford in a time of 31:18.12, just fast enough to achieve the
qualifying standard for the World Championships. The winning time of 30:17.62 was the best time of the
year on the track. Alina Reh (Germany) led the field after 3000 m in 9:29.69. The front runner reached

Olympics.[61]
2022
This season was considered a resting year for Hassan. She ended a break from competing just 8 days
before the World Championships in Eugene by running at the low-key Stumptown Twilight Meet in
Portland where she won the 5000 metres in 15:13.41.[62] At the aforementioned World Championships,
Hassan finished sixth in the 5000 metres and fourth in the 10,000 metres.[63]
2023
On 23 April, on her debut over the classic marathon distance, the 30-year-old won the London Marathon
with a time of 2:18:33. She lost contact with the leaders after stopping to stretch her leg twice about
19 km into the race, and was 28 seconds behind at the 25 km mark. Despite this, Hassan caught up with
the slowing lead quartet with four kilometres to go and prevailed in a sprint finish on the final straight,
four seconds ahead of Alemu Megertu. "It was really amazing. I never thought I would finish a
marathon", said Hassan.[64][65]
On 3 June, just 41 days after her marathon debut, Hassan made her return to outdoor track at the FBK
Games in Hengelo, Netherlands. She won both the 10,000 metres and the 1500 metres in 29:37.80 and
3:58.12, respectively.[66] On 23 July, she ran a new area record over 5000 metres of 14:13.42 to finish
third at the London Diamond League.[67]
At the 2023 World Championships, Hassan was leading the 10,000 metres until the final 100m when she
stumbled and fell after getting tangled with Gudaf Tsegay, she ended up finishing 11th.[68] Hassan came
back to win bronze in the 1500 metres and silver in the 5000 metres.[69][70]
On 8 October, Sifan Hassan won the Chicago Marathon with a time of 2:13:44.[71] This was a new course
record for the Chicago Marathon as well as the second-fastest women's marathon of all time.[72]
2024
On 3 March, Hassan finished fourth at the Tokyo Marathon in a time of 2:18.05.[73] She opened her track
season with a win over 5000 m at the Track Fest meet held in Los Angeles.[74] Hassan placd a
disappointing seventh over the same distance at the Prefontaine Classic.[75]
At the Paris 2024 Olympics, Hassan secured the bronze medal in the women's 5,000 metres. Initially
upgraded to silver following Faith Kipyegon's disqualification for obstruction, Hassan was later returned
to bronze after Kipyegon was reinstated following Kenya's successful appeal.[76]
Hassan also won bronze in the 10,000 metres then, on the final day, won gold in the women's marathon
after sprinting the final 200 metres to beat Ethiopian Tigst Assefa by three seconds.[14] With this gold
medal she became the first woman to win Olympic gold in the marathon, 5,000 metres and 10,000
metres. She also became the first Olympic athlete male or female to win medals in these three events at
the same Games since Czechoslovak Emil Zátopek in 1952.[14]
In December 2024, Hassan was named World Athletics Female Athlete of the Year.[77] She was the first
Dutchwoman to win the award.[78]
Coach
Sifan Hassan achieved her first career breakthroughs while under the direction of Dutch national coach
Honore Hoedt. Hassan decided to search for other coaching options at the end of 2016 after injuries
hampered her buildup to the Rio Olympics.
Beginning in 2017, Hassan moved to the United States to be coached by Alberto Salazar at the Nike
Oregon Project.[79][80]
In July 2018, the Nike Oregon Project hired Tim Rowberry as a coach—primarily to oversee the training
of Sifan Hassan and her fellow team member Yomif Kejelcha—while Salazar remained the head coach
over all athletes in the Nike Oregon Project.
In October 2019 Salazar began serving a four-year ban from athletics for doping violations dating from
before he started coaching Hassan. According to court rulings which upheld Salazar's ban, there was "no
evidence put before the CAS as to any effect on athletes competing at the elite level within the Nike
Oregon Project."[81]
The aftermath of Salazar's ban caused the Nike Oregon Project to dissolve leading Hassan and Kejelcha
to form a new training group under coach Tim Rowberry.
Hassan's current coach is Tim Rowberry. After her partnership with Rowberry began in 2018, she has set
new personal best times in the 1500m, 3k, 5k, 10k, half marathon, and marathon. Hassan's training
partner Yomif Kejelcha remained in the group until his departure to Adidas in 2021.[82][83][84]
