Paris:  The Netherlands runner Sifan Hassan completed an extraordinary journey at the Olympics by clinching gold in the women’s marathon at the Paris 2024 Games, adding to her bronze medals in both the 5,000 and 10,000 metres.

Hassan’s incredible feat places her among the all-time greats of Olympic history, reminiscent of legends like Paavo Nurmi and Emil Zatopek.

Hassan became the first woman in history to medal in the 5,000m, 10,000m, and marathon at the same Olympic Games, joining the ranks of Zatopek, who accomplished a similar feat in 1952. Over the course of her races in Paris, Hassan covered a staggering 62.2 kilometres (38.65 miles),
