DOHA - Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands completed a unique double when she dominated the race to win the 1,500 meters at the world athletics championship on Saturday, adding to the 10,000 meters title she won earlier in the competition.
Hassan, who moved to the Netherlands after leaving Ethiopia as a refugee when she was 15, took over the lead at the end of the first lap and never looked back as she broke the championship record with a time of three minutes 51.95 seconds. “It’s a very hard week for me, I was so just angry and I could not talk to anyone. I just ran all out. That hard work can’t be beaten by anything,” she told the BBC.
Salazar has denied wrongdoing and vowed to appeal while Nike has said it will stand by the coach. There has been no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Hassan but she has faced constant questioning about her connections with him since the decision was announced.
