Sifan Hassan Announces Return to London Marathon with Lofty Goals

The Olympic champion aims to build on her historic achievements and potentially target the marathon world record.

Sifan Hassan, the Dutch Olympic champion, has confirmed her participation in the 2025 London Marathon, set for April 27.
Hassan previously won the London Marathon in 2023 during her debut at the distance, overcoming injuries and setbacks to secure a dramatic victory.
At the 2024 Paris Olympics, she achieved an unprecedented feat by winning gold in the marathon and bronze in the 5,000m and 10,000m races within six days.
Hassan has expressed ambitions to break the women's marathon world record, inspired by Ruth Chepngetich's groundbreaking 2:09:56 run in 2024, though she acknowledges it may take years of focused training.
Looking ahead, Hassan plans to explore running four major marathons in a single year and continues to seek personal bests across various distances.
