Kipyegon STEAMROLL Sifan Hassan

I doubt Hassan was fresh in Monaco. Her coach probably tested her to see if it was possible to beat Kipyegon on tired legs to simulate the triple. However, that's just my theory

I agree, it would be an off day for Kipyegon Hassan to win. So, is this last we will see of Hassan down at 1500? She was SO mad she lost that race. I think it is going to drive her crazy, and she is going to want to avenge the defeat, but it seems impossible. I think Hassan will win a global gold in the marathon before she beats a healthy Kipyegon in the 1500 again at a championship race. When the time is right, Hassan will move up and break Kosgei's record. Just a matter of time.

You’re wrong. She’s the Best track runner you would ever seen. No one ever has shown that kind of range and don’t even think anyone ever would accomplish 3 metals at this distances same Olympics. If she had had a better schedule she could have won the 3 golds unfortunately for her fatigue caught up her kick in the last 150m was not there in the final.

Amazing accomplishment 2 golds and 1 bronze. Remember this you will never ever see this again unless she tries again in the WC or next Olympic Games.

I think I've just seen how much doping will add to the performance of a top athlete.

Did you just wake up and are now peeing on every laudatory post about Hassan? There are a lot of threads, so you will be busy for the next hour or two. Try to get finished before the men's marathon starts.....

Tactical beast, Faith. Sifan was disrespectful to the others for even entertaining the idea of that triple. Faith shut her up well and good.

Gold, gold, bronze…

Show some respect to the greatest female runner of all time, punk.

According to letsb!tch.com posters, doing your best and going all out is bad. World records are bad. Running fast is bad. Winning is bad. Losing, strangely, is also bad. Not running your best is bad.

Great post.

Only here would the choice of not trying the 1500 be a better result than getting a Bronze medal.

I kind of feel like a winner since I didn’t lose ANY races in the Olympics.

Unlike that loser, Sifan.

You’re the only Kenyan I’ve “met” who is an assh*le. What… mad you aren’t fast so you try to crap on every other country? Loser.

I've been here years and all I've got is open season for posters and even Letsrun staff pis*ing all over Kenya. The minute I decide to respond in kind, I get the old "Kenyans are usually nice, why aren't you?" response. And the mods always let the anti-Kenya slurs slide, but if I'm not allowed to respond with my opinions about the US and, especially, the UK.
