"I just want to be with the best and see how I run," Hassan said. "...I’m just a curious person."

Jonathan Gault analyzes the historically deep fields, Sifan Hassan's debut, Emily Sisson vs. Keira D'Amato, & Mo Farah's farewell?

No American man or woman has ever won the Diamond League 5k final, but Fisher & Alicia Monson will both be in the conversation in Zurich. *MB: Can Grant Fisher or Alicia Monson win the 2022 Diamond League 5000 final on Wednesday?

The DL is back with a big one. We can't wait for the men's 200 (Lyles, Knighton, Michael Norman), women's 100 (SAFP, Jackson, Thompson-Herah) and men's 1500 (Ingebrigtsen, Cheruiyot, Hoare & more). For the record, the women's 100 WR is 10.49 and the men's 200 WR is 19.19.

Letesenbet Gidey now has a gold medal to go with her 2 world records as she won a super tight women's 10,000m where the top three were separated by .13. But should she have been DQd? Plus all three American women advanced in the steeple and Karsten Warholm showed he's healthy. In the 110h, Devon Allen returned to action as Grant Holloway ran fast but Daneil Roberts bombed out.

Sifan Hassan is entered but there are doubts about her fitness. Plus how will Hellen Obiri and US champ Karissa Schweizer run?

Hassan, who tripled in Tokyo, hasn't raced all year but coach Tim Rowberry said the last two months of training have gone well after a rough start to 2022. *MB: Sifan Hassan is entered in 3 events at Worlds, will race 2 and is racing this weekend!!!

In her first race since winning double gold in Tokyo, Hassan will go for the 5000 WR on Friday night in Eugene. *MB: Sifan Hassan to attack world record in Eugene

Sifan Hassan completed her historic triple with gold in the 10,000m.

http://gty.im/1234505863 Faith Kipyegon pulled away from Sifan Hassan to win in an Olympic record of 3:53.11 and lay claim to being the greatest female mile of all-time.

Sifan Hassan might have her hands full with Letesenbet Gidey even if she wasn't trying to triple. We preview the women's 10,000m.

Sifan Hassan and Fait Kipyegon were dominant in different ways. The Americans didn't have a great night, but in the end, two ended up making the final - the most of any country and equal to Australia for which Jessica Hull set a NR.

Should Hassan pull off triple gold, it would automatically become the greatest accomplishment in the history of women's distance running. But with Faith Kipyegon, Gudaf Tsegay, Hellen Obiri, and Letesenbet Gidey standing in her way, she's no lock for gold in any event.

Hassan may try for an unprecedented three women's distance golds, and if she pulls it off it would go down as perhaps the greatest feat in women's Olympic track & field history. Consider: only seven women have won three individual Olympic golds in their career. Hassan is trying to do that in the span of nine days. *MB: Wen's Olympic 5,000 Official Discussion Thread - Who has the edge Sifan Hassan or Gudaf Tsegay?

Kipyegon is now #4 all-time in the women’s 1500, while Muir is #2 among Brits all-time in the 800 but will only run the 1500 in Tokyo. Hyvin Kiyeng (9:03.82) won the steeple, her second DL victory in a week.

The women's 1500 and men's 5000 both lived up to the hype and were incredible as an amazing week of distance running continued tonight in Florence.
