Sifan Hassan is brimming with adrenaline: ‘As if I had had twenty coffee’ | Sport

“After I fell this morning, I thought: it’s done with those 5000 meters. No gold medal,” Hassan told the US.

“I was in pain all over and didn’t feel quite well, but I still ran the race of my life. Two laps before the end I noticed that I was actually starting to feel better, and I’m very grateful for that. The last 200 meters on the way to the finish were the most beautiful meters,” said Ellen van Langen’s successor in 1992.

“I really did not expect this,” said the athlete, who also goes for a medal in the 1500 and 10,000 meters. “I have so much adrenaline in my body, it feels like I’ve had twenty cups of coffee.”
