DOHA - Sifan Hassan produced a stunning final lap to win the women's 10,000 metres at the world athletics championships on Saturday , an event she only ran for the first time in May.
Gidey and the other Ethiopian runners enjoyed the backing of a small but noisy, flag-waving contingent of their compatriots in the crowd, but thousands of seats remained empty. Hassan, who moved to the Netherlands after leaving Ethiopia as a refugee when she was 15, also won a world championship bronze over 1,500 metres in 2015 and 5,000 metres two years ago. She broke the world mile record in July and boasts a European record of 1:05:15 for the half marathon.
As expected, the race turned into a cagey battle between Ethiopians and Kenyans with Hassan in their midst as a group of six runners broke away.
