Sifan Hassan To Know Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Sifan Hassan: To Know

The best athletics runner in the world
is called Sifan Hassan
Top athlete
The Queen of Athletics
Dutch citizen, female

Olympic champion in Tokyo 2020,
two gold medals in the 10,000 meters
and the 5,000 meters
and bronze in the 1,500-meter
she has received the Royal Decoration
the Knight of Orange Nassau

Olympic champion Paris 2024
two bronze medals in the 5,000 meters and the 10,000 meters
and one gold medal in the Marathon Paris 2024.
with 2.22.55 she won the Olympic Record
This gold feels like 42 medals, Sifan said in the interview

Does she mean that because a marathon is 42.195 km?
She has also received another distinction
because she was already accepted into the Knight of Orange Nassau in 2020.

Good to know that she equals Emile Zatopek (1952)
