'It’s not only me' - Speechless Sifan Hassan reveals crazy 2024 after being crowned Women’s World Athlete of the Year
The Dutchwoman added another title to her trophy cabinet as her stellar career takes shape.
“I’ll still get nervous, but I’m not finished yet, I think I’ll do marathons until I die. I’m not going to stop. It’s a lot of fun,” the Dutch star told The Independent.
Sifan, double 5000m and 10000m bronze medalist at the Paris Olympics, has only run four marathons in her trophy-laden career but said she's scared to run the marathon. “Yes, I’m still scared of the marathon, I’ve only done four and they’re all different,” she explains. “You’re uncomfortable for two hours or more and the brain wants to protect you," she adds.

'I don't make enough money...'- Olympic champion Noah Lyles opens up about practical difficulties of managing fame
Paris Olympic champion Noah Lyles explains the challenges of handling fame and battling mental issues at the same time.
The three-time Olympic champion maintained that recovery is her biggest strength, something that she has enjoyed during her formative years to date. “I also recover very quickly, whenever I do a session, my heart rate drops like crazy. When I was younger during track sessions, I was dying on the ground. But after a minute, I jump back up and I’m ready to do another," she observed.
Taking risks has been Hassan's secret weapon and embracing challenges, coupled with her never-say-die attitude, have made the three-time Diamond League champion a global icon in all her four disciplines.
“I recover great, that’s good, but the rest is the challenge, I love the extra challenge. I like to try things out. I’m not scared... I mean, I am scared but I like to try things. Does it work or does it not? That’s what makes me better than others, I try.”
