Sifan Hassan

Quotes

• “"I’m really excited to learn more rather than just focus on who is going to run and are they going to win or not."”
• “"Maybe I’m searching for some very hard or stressful things. I don’t know. Maybe for me to stay in this sport I have to find out what is possible or impossible?"”
• “"Running teaches you patience, and I didn't want to give up. After all, if you don't give up, you just continue."”
• “"I think learning to take something difficult in your stride is something life teaches you."”
• “"So, when I feel like I want to give up or cry, I don’t. And the outcome is much more beautiful."”
• “"I don't challenge myself to be better than the next person, rather better than myself. I think everyone should compete with themselves."”
