Ethiopian athlete who represents the Netherlands at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, she was one of the favorites in the 1500 meter race. It was close, and the 2019 world champion would have said goodbye to her dream of a medal at the Olympic Games already in qualifying. What exactly happened?
Incredible Hassan run. First she fell and then won the 1500 m race
400 meters before the finishing line, Hassan fell after one of the contestants, right in front of her, suddenly stumbled and fell on the treadmill. Hassan got back up in no time and started a mad chase after her rivals! She started to pass more competitors and the first one was on the finish line, 4: 05,17.

Martyna Galant achieved considerable success in another qualifying series. The Polish representative set a new life record and with time 4: 05.03 she was promoted to the semi-final of the Olympic Games in Tokyo in the 1500 m run. The 26-year-old improved her best result so far by almost four seconds! She was 8th in her qualifying series, but was among the riders who had the six fastest times out of all three qualifying heats.
– Finally, I broke down. I’ve had a hard time lately. I came here to fight, I’m glad I did it. I was already running in such a climate at the Universiade, I had no problem with it – said Martyna Galant for TVP1.
On Wednesday, July 4, the women’s semi-finals in the race will be held 1500 m.
