However, she put this all behind her to cross the line victorious, taking home the special win on her debut.

She is phenomenal! So thrilled for her. Lovely sportsmanship too when she shared her drink with another runner.

[JoostMehrtens]

3:38 Offering a drink to her competitor who also missed the drink station but didn’t go back… that is more than being nice.

02:10 "I dont think she is gonna be a threat, is she?" I think she's definitely a threat 🔥⚡️

“Anyone want a drink? I went back to get one”

One of the greatest sportspersons around today no doubt, to be world class at distances from 1500metres to the marathon is incredible.

She is one of the most humble / modest persons I have ever seen. Well deserved!

[milikoshki]

that kick at the end is just stunning! these athletes can go where we mortals only dream

[alfaduc]

Never seen anything like this. Incredible achievement by Hassan!

[TheRealD]

What amazes me is how elite runners like Hassan make running at decent speed appear like a leisurely jog! 😮😮

This is truly remarkable. While you may be racing towards your own dream, never hesitate to look around and offer help to someone who may also be your competitor. With perseverance and an unwavering spirit of determination, victory will always belong to those who extend a helping hand to others on their journey towards success.
In this Marathon, Sifan's had to pull out of the race twice to stretch and catch her breath. But she did not allow this to discourage her. Instead, with grit, she pushed through the pain. As Sifan continued in the race, she noticed her fellow Ethiopian runner Yehuala struggling with exhaustion and she offered her water to her competitor, but Yehuala declined. In the end, it was the courageous spirit of people like Sifan that helped them emerge victorious. So, always remember to keep pushing forward towards your own goals, but never forget to look around and lend a hand to those in need, including your competitor or even adversaries if they are in a terrible condition. Cheeeers Sifan Hassan.

Just amazing and never ever write off Hassan till she finishes.

[lichtdoos]

Let’s be honest this woman is the greatest female athlete of all time. There is and never has been another athlete with a bigger range then Hassan. If she is planning to run all those distances on the next olympics she deserves a sixt new ring named at her.

OUT OF THIS WORLD STUNNING. UNBELIEVABLE, what a AMAZING ATHLETE.

[Ffils]

She is unbelievable. This is so beautiful and funny at the same time. Congrats Sifan 🫶☀️

[gadaanet]

The finishing looks like 10, 000m. Amazing!

[tvgcmma]

Taking away recency bias one of the goats - what range a 1.56 800m runner and marathon winner

[RedPilled]

@2:12 'I dont think she's going to be a threat' then Sifan proceeds to win the race🤷‍♂️

[kuramobay]

Definitely in the conversation as the female distance GOAT.

[nerllybird]

This is still the best thing I've seen this year. Can't watch it often enough ❤

@ 1:27 "I'd suggest her race is run". Well, I'd suggest not judging Sifan Hassan by "normal" standards. The blistering pace she managed to produce after 2 hours of running is beyond belief. Once she gets used to running the marathon I'm wondering where she might end up, considering how much she had left, 2:12, 2:10?
