Sifan Hassan (Oromo: Siifan Hassan; born January 1993[8][9]) is a Dutch middle- and long-distance runner.[10] She is most recognized for her versatility in running championship and world-leading performances in widely disparate distances. She completed an unprecedented triple at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, winning gold medals in both the 5,000 metres and 10,000 metres and a bronze medal for the 1,500 metres. Hassan is the only athlete in Olympic history to win medals across a middle-distance event and both long-distance races in a single Games. She is only the second of three women to complete an Olympic distance double.[11][12] At the Paris 2024 Olympics, Hassan secured a bronze medal in both the women's 5,000 m[13] and 10,000 m events and gold in the women's marathon, becoming the only woman to win the Olympic gold medal in the 5,000 metres, 10,000 metres and Marathon races.[14]

At the World Athletics Championships, Hassan took 1,500 m and 10,000 m titles in 2019, becoming the only athlete (male or female) in history to win both events at a single World Championships or Olympic Games.[15] She won a bronze at the 1500 m in 2015, and at the 5000 m in 2017, when she also finished fifth in the 1,500 m. Hassan is a three-time World Indoor Championships medallist, winning gold at 1500 m in 2016 as well as silver at 3000 m and bronze for 1500 m in 2018. She earned six European medals (including two cross country titles), and one European indoor medal. She is also a three-time Diamond League winner, having secured the 1500 m/5000 m double in 2019. In her debut over the classic 26.2-mile distance, she won the 2023 London Marathon.

Hassan has been the world record holder for the one hour run since 2020.[16] She held the world record for the one mile on the track from July 2019 to July 2023, when Faith Kipyegon overtook it.[17][18] She held a world record at 10,000 m for two days in June 2021.[19][20] She holds six European records (1500 m, 3000 m, 5000 m, 10,000 m, half marathon, marathon) and three other Dutch records.
