Hassan looks totaly dead after 35k compared to tigist assefa who seems relatively fresh and fueled at the finish line in her record breaking performance. I dont think hassan will ever perform better than this day ever again. the conditions were quite better and the competetion is also good. she knows she is 30 y.old and reached at the height of her career, she used her advntage quite thoroughly.
BTW, this was a great chance for ruth chepngetich to accomplish her goal as an elite marathoner, she had to use fairly unexperianced hassan as an advantage to her motivation, but she looks totaly spent herself.
will someone teach this women a lesson on how to run an even split in a marathon cause it will get boring knowing they will signeficantly going to be slower in the second half. there is no reason for them to go out that hard unless they can keep the tempo.
Wow really? I always knew in the past during her battles with Genzebe Dibaba that she seemed too pettish and temperamental for a really clean athlete. I guess I was right after all and she was probably doped up!

We haven’t seen Hassan with a proper marathon build and not mere weeks after great track performances. if you don’t think she can break 2:12, you
are mistaken. Also, not likely Assefa or any others to beat her in a championship race. She’s going to be hard to drop and nobody running this event is going to out duel her over a last km.

Sifan did a fabulous transformation in 2019.
I remember that same year she was beaten in a 1500m by a Moroccan women the first DL.
Runners like Mo Farah / S. Hassan will never be in the list of GOAT because they don't look naturally legit but transformed by the power of money.

False. Assefa is a sub 2 800 meter runner in her own right. Hassan loses far more championship races than she wins.
Yes Sifan Hassan is a true Ethiopian mercenary working for the Dutch. But she is also a staunch Muslim but unlike El G I find her too temperamental and cunning to be clean like El G. I assume when you say transformed my money you simply mean transformed by drugs!

Ok, so 4 seconds slower than Sifan. Hassan is currently able to run 3:52-3 at least. You think Assefa can do that? Hassan loses championship races to Tsegay and Kipyegon, mostly the latter. That’s about it. If Hassan were to run the Olympic marathon fresh and train for it, these marathon runners are not beating her.
I think you missed the part where Assefa ran nearly 2 minutes faster. Assefa is on another level. Hassan won’t be close to her. Hassan will lose yet another championship race. She’ll be remembered as a gutsy runner with impressive range who held no world record upon her retirement and lost three times as many championship races as she won.

Wow, just ran the 2nd fastest time ever with no conventional marathon training. You think way too little of Hassan. Do you think Assefa would run 2:11 if she had the same summer as Hassan? Well, I think Hassan would run sub 2:12 if she had the same summer as Assefa. We will have to wait and see….

Assefa only raced once this year on fresh legs. Hassan was busy racking up medals and battling the alleged GOATs in each distance she races and defeating most of them. Wait for the head to head, Assefa will fall to Hassan who has a much better 800m PR.
