Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands is attempting to become the first athlete to win the 1,500-, 5,000- and 10,000-meter events in the same Olympic Games.
Tara Davis struggled with anxiety and suicidal thoughts before seeking therapy and turning her life around. Now, she’s competing for Olympic gold.
She got up, chased down a pack of the world’s best distance runners, and then sprinted down the final stretch for victory that advanced her into Wednesday’s semifinals.“Many people think I’m crazy” to try to win three distance events at the same Games, she said after her first victory. “Life is not about the goal or about the win. ... It’s about follow your heart.”
Hassan, 28, was born in Ethiopia. She emigrated to the Netherlands in 2008. At the 2016 Rio Games, Hassan finished fifth in the 1,500. In 2019, she won world championships in the 1,500 and 10,000.Hassan’s comeback victory in the 1,500-meter qualifying heat set the stage.
