In an intense and highly competitive Olympic marathon, an athlete achieved a remarkable feat. The Netherlands’ Sifan Hassan won bronze medals in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters on the track before capturing the gold medal in the marathon less than 26 hours later. Her victory came after a surge in the final 250 meters, despite a shove from another participant. Hassan’s performance marks one of the most impressive trebles in distance running history. She finished in an Olympic record time of 2:22.55, securing the top spot on the podium.
