My question is exactly as the subject says: Does Sifan Hassan train at the Nike Oregon Project?
According to latest information she moved to the USA, but I am curious to know if she actually joined that group.

No one?
Her running form is horrible.
She is at Nike HQ with Salazar. That doesn't mean she is part of NOP, Salazar is often doing favors for other coaches by helping other Nike athletes out while they are on campus.
Yes, I've seen her in Eugene as well. She's seen what push-ups can do for an athlete. Why not go to ground zero?

He just holds a stopwatch, same as Aden does for Farah when he is in town.

naughty naughty.
Hassan is obviously a Nike athlete, but who coaches (coached?) her? I'm sure she's ready for a change after such a great 2015, but sub-par (for her) in 2016.
she is coached by Honore Hoedt (Netherlands)
Nope, they split up this summer. Link to a (Dutch) article:

Well, there you go. She's a definite upgrade to the loss/retirement of Mosier.
She isn't even Dutch and barely speaks Dutch.
Dutch women are tall and blond.
Minder, minder, minder.
"As a 15 year old girl, Sifan Hassan came to the Netherlands as a refugee. After some years staying in different places she picked up her running again."
Refugee runs 3:56 on the Dutch.

I don't know if this is true, but I do recall reading somewhere that she was making a coaching change. However, AlSal does work with other athletes for periods of time who don't become NOP members. I also heard a rumor that AlSal was retiring from full time coaching and becoming more of an elite athlete/coaching consultant and that he has recently turned down a few athlete's to be their full time coach.

Her manager is Jos Hermens.
Sifan Hassan was from Ethiopia. The 1500m World Champion Aregawi (meldonium positive) was from Ethiopia and managed by Jos Hermens.
Faith Kipyegon is also managed by Jos Hermens, and coached by Bram Som…from the Netherlands. (Genzebe Dibaba is coached by Jama Aden.)
Sifan Hassan has done training in Flagstaff. The Netherlands national team has also done secret training at Buffalo Park that I was able to spy on.
I found out that one of them sleeps with his altitude tent set at 3000m. They use a stupid metric system in Europe.
I also found out that Flagstaff ultra-hobby jogger/camper Rob Krar is actually a CANADIAN FROM HAMILTON, ONTARIO (THE HAMMER OF CANADA).
That explains a lot.
The trainingcamp in flagstaff was one of the national training camps. sifan used to live on the dutch athletics team basis (which is called papendal).
besides that, as a top 8 athlete you are allowed to go on a trainingcamp paid by the dutch athletics association.
actually bram som has nothing to do with this. the only similarity is that he also comes from the netherlands.
Sifan was coached by honore hoedt, but she ended that right after the olympics. I assume she still stays at global, which is managed by jos hermens.
Sifan stated that she wanted to move to the usa and find a coach there. When you don't hear anything on this I am starting to get curious, thats why I'm asking
It will be true, no wait....if Jama holds the stop watch, she was never there, nor was Jama.

Salazar has quipped in an interview some time back that if Rupp wanted to go for another Olympics he might have to find another coach as Alberto wasn't sure how much longer he wanted to coach.
Recently Centro said in an interview that Salazar was so pleased with Centro's Olympic win that he said he'd coach him as long as he wanted to go -- as Centro has said he'd like to try for two more Olympics and expand to the 5,000 as well.
