SIFAN HASSAN

Over nine days at the near-empty Olympic Stadium, the women of track and field delivered a memorable show.

Marcell Jacobs backed up his shocking 100-meter victory with another totally unexpected gold for Italy in the 4x100-meter relay at the Olympics.

No runner has ever won the 5,000m, 1,500m, and 10,000m treble at the same Olympics. But there have been other memorable distance triples and doubles.

In what might be the first step towards an unprecedented triple, the Dutch runner won two races on the same day

Sifan Hassan is going for it: three gold medals in three races. She's already won gold in one of them — the women's 5,000 meter race.

The quest for gold medals is on track for the U.S. women’s basketball and volleyball teams after finishing at the top of their groups in pool play.

Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands started her bid to win three medals at the Tokyo Games by earning gold in the 5,000 meters.

Suddenly well behind the leaders, Dutch distance runner Sifan Hassan stood up and turned on the gas. Eleven of the world's fastest runners stood between her and victory.

World champion Sifan Hassan has made an incredible recovery from a fall at the final bell to win her 1,500-meter heat at the Olympics.

Julia Krajewski of Germany won individual eventing gold after countrymate and two-time defending champion Michael Jung stumbled during the cross country segment.

MONACO - The women's world record in the mile run, which has stood for 23 years, finally fell on Friday. The Netherlands' Sifan Hassan broke the record Friday night at the Monaco Diamond League with a time of 4:12.33. Russia's Svetlana Masterkova set the world record in 1996 with 4:12.56. "After you run a last 400 like that, and set a world record, it gives me so much confidence over 5000m." The 26-year-old Dutch runner's previous best time was 4:14.71, set last year at the London Diamond League meet.
