Sifan Hassan praises Salazar after Valencia - Jos Hermens says she'll stay in Portland.

Please reply about how many drugs Sifan Hassan has taken based on your best estimate, and based on your narcissistic personality disorder.

“He is the best coach there is, he does the best for his athletes,” she told Dutch broadcaster NOS after finishing second in Sunday’s Valencia half marathon in Spain.

“There is no better coach, which makes the choice now for a new one so much more difficult.

As for her new coach, Hermens says “We have an eye on two, three, four American coaches, but it must be someone with whom she must click.”

Would have been great to see this coach JS to coach her. I bet he could coach her to some world records next season , but he's Swedish and just a newcomer so maybe just a long shot?

Surely Pete

Schumacher? I don't think BTC is keen to jump on the Hassan train.

Mark Rowland? Is he still there?

Rowland is a Brit.

Which languages are you talking about?

Her Dutch is so bad that they still subtitle her, even when she has been living here in the Netherlands for many years as a "refugee".

Her English is pretty bad as well.

And when you are able to understand what she says, she doesn't give a particular bright impression, to say the least.

She is also a Salafi Muslim, but that's another can of worms.

She speaks Amharic as that is her native language you moron.

She speaks Dutch fluently but with an Ethipoian accent.

She speaks English fluently, but with an Ethiopian and Dutch accent.

At least you showed your real issue and that is her religion. You ethnocentric, racists a$$hats can't seem to get beyond the Muslim thing.

Regardless of her accent, she comes across as average intelligence at best. That's not an insult just a fact.

Renato Canova's English is bad but he still comes across as a genius. Most athletes... not so much.

Also I suggest you look up Salafi Islam.

1) I suggest you look up the constitution, specifically the 1st amendment.

2) You have no idea what she practices or what she doesn't, you are clearly a brainwashed sheep that believes anything he hears.

3) She's not dumb, but you are.

1) I don't think your "first amendment" protects terrorism.

2) Yes I do.

3) Even if I was, this topic isn't about me, it's about Sifan. If you believe she's smart then give your reasons.

Jerry would obviously provide a great setup for her.

She needs someone who's a much better coach, and who has a more positive attitude.

Yes they need coaches. Hassan is not very bright, I am afraid, she might have picked up some principles of training/coaching but not good enough for a world class runner. It's also a psychological thing.

You're an a$$hole. You'e the one that's not bright, Hassan speaks multiple languages and is as bright as they come. Stupid Americans often misinterpret someone that speaks English as a second or third language, as being dumb because they stumble over words. That doesn't make them dumb. How many languages do you speak ? You piece of sh*t!

There are many like him on this forum.

You come across as a total moron with no sense, which is actually a compliment in your case.

Yes! Nothing like a good ol Muslim extremist that advocates violence on civilians. Please, keep blindly defending that. See where it gets you.

And you know nothing about Latin. I don’t know this other poster’s Latin ability, but I can tell you that reading Latin cannot be done by every Catholic school child or medical student (is this 1950?). And reading authors like Vergil takes most people years of study to be able to do fluently.

Stultus es.

Thanks for the compliment. In any case, you come across as someone pretended to be offended on someone else's behalf as opposed to someone who deals with facts.

And nor do you, for all your invective.

So elite athletes need coaches like Salazar and Hermens to explain to them the principles of interval training? Either they are not very bright or it isn't about interval training.

I am multilingual, German native, fluent in English, reading Latin, speak/read/understand basic French and Spanish.

You are missing my point. She is not smart enough or sufficiently educated or experienced in sport science to self coach. Most athletes aren't. And that's o.k. (And I still think that she is not very bright, which is o.k., she is supposed to run well not teach quantum mechanics.)

But you don't speak Dutch, her native language, so how can you even begin to speculate about her intelligence?

You, for one, should know that you come across differently when you communicate in a non-native language. You don't appear especially bright when you write in English.

Your groundless assumptions about other people's intelligence does come across as quite German, though.

You've apparently never had a good coach.

Dutch is not her native language and you're wrong, it is possible for people to come across as intelligent in their non-native language.
