I didn't think she could take Gidey, glad I was wrong.
No doubt, what she did this Olympics...2 gold and a bronze puts her in another universe!! Undisputed GOAT!!!
How you an you be the GOAT, male or female, when the majority of male d1 runners are better than her?

Are those D1 runners running at Olympics as well? They cant be better than her when they haven't earned the right to compete at the Olympics.
Tirunesh Diba a still ahead of her as GOAT female distance racer.
3 Olympics gold (2 in 10000 and 1 in 5000)
3 Olympics bronze ( 2 in 5k and 1 in 10k)
5 world titles ( 3 in 10k and 2 in 5k)
1 world silver in 5k.
4 cross-country golds and 2 silvers.
World records at both 10000 and 5000.
Hassan is no where near matching this yet.

Nope. Zatopek had 3 golds. Viren did the double twice, with a wr thrown in.
Best pharmacist on staff in history. This woman has a recovery that is unnatural.
female GOAT maybe; Lasse Viren would like to have a word-Zatopek also...don't get me wrong a great Olympics with 3 events and 2 golds--Viren's Montreal-5000m, 10000m gold and 5th in the marathon to finish!
Dibaba imo
Shes def way up there on the GOAT list.
Beating a well rested Giday with fresh legs, after all these rounds of competition, was beyond impressive.

Female GOAT is Dibaba for now. Hassan has to win a few more titles before there can be a debate.

Hassan has better range, having won 1500 gold in worlds and bronze this time. I think she's in Dibaba's league, without doubt.
Better range and the fields are much deeper than 10 to almost 20 years ago in Tirunesh Dibaba's time.
Hassan is faster that Zatopek.
Legit question, anyone notice the carats on Sifan's left hand in all her olympic races (plus her 10km race in hengelo). Other than weighing her down, is she engaged?
In 1920 nurmi the 10k, xc,xc team and had a silver in the 5k. In 1924 he won the 1500m, 5000m, xc, xc team, 3000 team. They didnt let him run the 10k. In 1928 he had 10k gold, 5000m silver, 3k steeple silver.
Nobody has come close to that since. People have had individual olympics that are in the ballpark but nobody has 3 of them
Things were different back then though. It wasn't the modern era. There wasn't the same depth. Of course it's still an amazing performance, but I'd rank this 2021 one higher.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
