Sifan Hassan starts preparation for the World Cup in Portland with first game of the season | Other sports

The 29-year-old athlete took a long break after last year’s Olympics in Tokyo, where she won gold in the 5000 and 10,000 meters and bronze in the 1500 meters. She started training later and it hadn’t come to competitions yet.

Her coach Tim Rowberry told letsrun.com that Hassan does not plan to run all 1500, 5000 and 10,000 meters at the World Cup. A decision will be made after the weekend.
