Obviously Hassan is faster but Grete was just as good in her day compared with those around her from 1500m to marathon PLUS she got XC world titles on top. Five, in fact! By contrast Hassan merely has Euro golds x2.

You left out lynn jennings. Btw, we can only compete against those who have the ovaries to toe the line. Great. Fastest. Best. Doesn’t matter. If there’s a question, you don’t deserve the superlative.
Hassan is miles better than Waitz.
Waitz competed over multiple distances but did not excel at all of them.

At which distances did she not excel? She ran a WR at 3000m, and won the 1977 world cup 3000m. She medalled in the 1974 Euro meet at 1500m.
Waitz never really had the opportunity to race 5/10 on the track.
