Sifan Hassan Reflects On Her 2024 Paris Olympics Triple đ„đ„đ„, Returning To London Marathon Against The Best Women, Thoughts On The 2:09:56 World Record + More Ambitious Goals
âItâs still scary. It doesnât matter how many marathons you run, youâre going to be scared. The brain is scared of struggling for two hours, struggling for three hours. Youâre going to suffer. You have to focus on one thing for two hours.â Few athletes embody the spirit of curiosity and courage quite like Sifan Hassan. From her historic triple attempt at the Tokyo Olympics to her remarkable gold medal in the marathon and double bronze on the track in Paris, Hassan has redefined whatâs possible in distance running. Today, she joins The CITIUS MAG Podcast to reflect on the extraordinary highs and grueling challenges of her career, including the mental toll of her Olympic triples and her triumphant return to the marathon at London in 2023. Hassan also shares her ambitious plans for 2025 and beyond, from chasing Ruth Chepngetichâs stunning 2:09:56 marathon world record to potentially attempting an unprecedented four major marathons in one year. What drives someone who has already achieved so much? Hassanâs answer is as compelling as her racing: itâs not about being the GOAT â itâs about pushing the limits of what she can do. Get ready for an inspiring conversation with one of the most curious, fearless, and boundary-pushing athletes of our time.
