In her first race since winning double gold in Tokyo, Hassan will go for the 5000 WR on Friday night in Eugene. *MB: Sifan Hassan to attack world record in Eugene

Sifan Hassan completed her historic triple with gold in the 10,000m.

http://gty.im/1234505863 Faith Kipyegon pulled away from Sifan Hassan to win in an Olympic record of 3:53.11 and lay claim to being the greatest female mile of all-time.

Sifan Hassan might have her hands full with Letesenbet Gidey even if she wasn't trying to triple. We preview the women's 10,000m.

Sifan Hassan and Fait Kipyegon were dominant in different ways. The Americans didn't have a great night, but in the end, two ended up making the final - the most of any country and equal to Australia for which Jessica Hull set a NR.

Should Hassan pull off triple gold, it would automatically become the greatest accomplishment in the history of women's distance running. But with Faith Kipyegon, Gudaf Tsegay, Hellen Obiri, and Letesenbet Gidey standing in her way, she's no lock for gold in any event.

Hassan may try for an unprecedented three women's distance golds, and if she pulls it off it would go down as perhaps the greatest feat in women's Olympic track & field history. Consider: only seven women have won three individual Olympic golds in their career. Hassan is trying to do that in the span of nine days. *MB: Wen's Olympic 5,000 Official Discussion Thread - Who has the edge Sifan Hassan or Gudaf Tsegay?

The women's 1500 and men's 5000 both lived up to the hype and were incredible as an amazing week of distance running continued tonight in Florence.

This weekend Jenny Simpson has a major pre-Olympic Trials test at 1500m, Sifan Hassan targets the 10,000m world record, and Mo Farah has a major hurdle if he wants to defend his 10,000m crown in Tokyo.

No world records fell today in Ostrava but there was plenty of great action as a ton of BIG names picking up wins as the likes of Laura Muir, Faith Kipyegon, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Ryan Crouser, Karsten Warholm, Christian Taylor and Sifan Hassan all vanquished the competition.

Sifan Hassan: "I didn't felt good before the start of the race; I even puked," said the always colorful Hassan.  "After thirty minutes of racing, I finally felt better. It was in the final twenty minutes that I gained the confidence I needed. When there were only two minutes left on the clock, the fun began. I just gave everything I had left."

The battle between the WR holder in the mile and marathon ended up being pretty entertaining even if the pace they were running was modest compared to their own lofty standards. *MB: Fair or foul? Brigid Kosgei gets DQd for stepping on rail in 1 hour world record attempt
