She's from Ethiopia.

Moved to Europe as a teen, becomes decent national level runner, moves to the USA under dirty Al, spends entire winters in Africa, transformed into a GOAT in her mid-twenties.

The female version of Mo.

Doped to the Gills. and not the GOAT.

All the runners that she had hard trouble beating, just for her to blow them away at 3.51, and the rest of them ran natural PB

Disgusting. This is up there with Ayana's run.

She lead from beginning to end, then had an extra gear in the last lap?

Not normal or natural. ....3:51? after doing the 10000m?

This is up there with Mary Decker who Hassan was patterned after By Al .....and a doper

There's something called miracle. If you don't believe in miracle, why should you watch the sport?

Just switch it off.

Don't know if she's doped or not, but she was always a huge talent. One of the most promising in her generation. That was obvious to the ones following the sport before she went to NOP. Nothing like MO anyways..

Also, Muir was coming back from an injury, and Faith probably still not in the shape she was before the pregnancy..

No damn miracle. you do a 10000m race hard, and then do rounds of 1500m, and then lead the final race from beginning to end hard,, and then have another hard lap gear? Even men can't do that.

It's quite obvious. ...not a miracle. And then run the WC in 3:51?

No pacer.

Like said even the men don't do this when it comes to distance races ..higher than 800m.

Athletics is probably the only sport I'm aware of where an athlete who was transformed from a good runner into a superhuman GOAT in her mid-twenties, by a coach who was banned for doping offences just this week, could still be celebrated when she produces another superhuman performance.

Unfortunately, this isn't the only sport where this can happen but athletics is certainly leading the way. Makes you forget all about the good old days in the Tour de France.

Mo doesn’t have the times.

Faith limped away from the finish.

Hassan did not lead from beginning to end. She was in last place the first 200.

True!

Where to begin? She won in the diamond league and ran 3:56 long before joining NOP. Doped to the gills? Then you're saying that testing doesn't work. Why even drug test?

She didn't take the lead until the 300m mark. Anyone who watched her run the mile this year has seen that she starts slow and runs each lap faster than the last.

Who are you to decide what's normal or natural? The 10k was 8 days ago and only the last mile was hard. She only ran 30:17 - just a few seconds faster than Shalane Flanagan ran in 2008.

BTW, Mary Decker tested positive in her 40's and a large part of her career happened before testing was even done. Name ANY NOP athlete who has tested positive. You can't.

Finally, Ayana races a few times a year, at most. Hassan races a lot and is getting tested a lot. Anyone who's watched Hassan on the Diamond league 3:55 and 8:18 3k, knew that this was possible.

The rest ran natural PBs?

One of the most depressing races since the men’s 1500m in London in 2012.

Proof that all of Salazar’s athletes should be banned from the sport

And you are not Kenyan. You also said you were leaving for good. Yet here you are, still pretending. Mo delivered. You, not at all. Never have. Never will. Nothing but a liar.

No, this is the only sport where people would be critical at all

Yeah, when 3 Norwegian brothers can compete with the best distance runners in the world, you have to wonder!

It's funny how suddenly 3:58 is a slow time.
