Sifan Hassan Returns for 2025 London Marathon

Sifan Hassan, the reigning Olympic marathon champion, is set to return to the London Marathon on April 27, 2025, after her remarkable debut victory in 2023 where she stopped mid-race but ultimately triumphed. Excited about her return, she reflects on how London marked the beginning of her marathon journey and helped her grow both as an athlete and a person. Hassan aims to claim her fourth marathon victory in just her fifth attempt, hoping to achieve further success after winning the Olympic gold in Paris last summer. Alongside her, other champions, including Ethiopia's Tamirat Tola and Paralympic medalists, will also compete in the event. She expressed a desire to enjoy this race more than her debut and shared aspirations to potentially pursue the world record in the future. Hassan's journey is characterized by her resilience and ambition, seeking to continue pushing her limits in the sport.
