If ever there was one athlete that Kenyans wish was not in Tokyo then it has to be Sifan Hassan.
The Dutch athlete raced to a 5,000m gold medal on Monday ahead of Kenya’s Hellen Obiri.
As if that is not enough, the former Ethiopian will also be racing against Kenya’s Faith Chepngetich in the 1,500m final on Friday and will still want to deny Obiri the 10,000m gold on Saturday.
