Sifan Hassan rejects greatest-ever claim and confirms London Marathon entry
- Distance runner won three medals at Paris Olympics
- Dutch athlete comments: ‘I don’t think I am the Goat’
Sifan Hassan has dismissed suggestions that she is the greatest female distance runner of all time despite winning Olympic marathon gold and 10,000m and 5,000m bronze medals over six extraordinary days in Paris.
That made the Dutch athlete, who has just been announced as the star attraction for this year’s London Marathon, the first person to win medals in those three events in one Games since Emil Zatopek in 1952.
