·1 min
Sifan Hassan earned another bronze medal in the women’s 10,000-meter final at the Paris Olympics. Despite winning this race in Tokyo three years ago, along with a gold medal in the 5,000, Hassan is not disappointed. She will be running a marathon on Sunday and hopes to become the first person since 1952 to medal in the 5,000, 10,000, and marathon events. Hassan, a 31-year-old Dutch runner originally from Ethiopia, sees these Olympics as a personal challenge. She finished third in the 5,000 earlier this week and plans to focus on the marathon. Her unique training approach includes tailoring her workouts based on her cortisol levels. Hassan aims to complete all three distances successfully while conserving energy for the marathon.
