The Netherlands’ Sifan Hassan won the 10,000m to seal her second gold and third medal of the Tokyo Olympics. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The 28-year-old, who had been seeking an unprecedented golden treble, had missed out on that feat when she took bronze in the <\/span>1500m<\/span><\/a> but still takes home a hat-trick of medals after adding Saturday’s gold to her 5,000m title.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Despite running three races in Tokyo’s heat in the last few days, Hassan found an extra gear in the last lap.<\/span><\/p>\n

She won in 29 minutes 55.32 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n

It had been a highly anticipated race with world champion Hassan pitted against Ethiopia’s Letesenbet Gidey, who broke the Dutchwoman’s world record in June, and it did not disappoint.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hassan tucked in just behind the leaders and with about 3,000 metres remaining, she increased her pace to sit second behind Gidey.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the final turn Hassan surged past the Ethiopian, who then faded further to take bronze after Bahrain’s Kalkidan Gezahegne passed her to get the silver.<\/span><\/p>\n
