[Translate to English:] Meert: ‘Hassan is looking for something special in the Mile’

Sifan Hassan insisted with the organisers to change the 1500m in to a Mile race. The Dutch bronze medal winner from Beijing is confident that she can deliver an extremely fast race next Friday.

Hassan astonished the organisers when she requested pacemaking from 2’05” at 800m and 2’36” at 1000m. Her training is going extremely well and Hassan believes that she can keep a pace going that brings her close to the World Record (4’12”56 – Svetlana Masterkova 1996). “I’m experienced enough on the distance, I can judge my pace well.”

The pace will be set by Chanelle Price (USA) and by Angelika Cichokha (POL).
