BTN News: Sifan Hassan, the famous Dutch runner, has a big plan for the Paris Olympics. She will try to keep her Olympic titles in the 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters races. On top of that, she will also compete in the marathon. This time, she will not run the 1,500 meters race. In the past, she has shown that she is one of the best in this distance, but this time, it is not part of her plan.
Hassan shocked the world in Tokyo when she said she would run in four events. She wanted to win medals in the 5,000 meters, 10,000 meters, 1,500 meters, and the marathon. This was a big and bold goal. During her first 1,500 meters race in Tokyo, she fell. But she got back up and won a bronze medal. This showed how strong and determined she is.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Hassan talked about how hard it was to run so many races. She said it made her very tired. But now, she is excited and ready for a new challenge in Paris. She smiled when she talked about her plan and said, “I am very curious about what will happen.”
The Paris Olympics will be very tough for Hassan. She will have less than 48 hours between the 10,000 meters final and the marathon. This is a very short time to rest and recover. It will be a big test of her strength and determination.
Hassan has already shown she is very good at marathons. In 2023, she won her first marathon in London. Later that year, she won the Chicago Marathon with the second-fastest time ever. These wins prove she can handle the long distance and tough competition of a marathon.
People all over the world are eager to see how Hassan will do in Paris. She has a tough road ahead, with many challenges. But her past performances show she has what it takes to succeed. She will try to defend her titles in the 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters, and she will push herself to the limit in the marathon. Her journey in Paris will be one of the highlights of the Olympics, showing her incredible strength and talent.
