Triple quest request almost a reality for Sifan


TOKYO: An innocuous question from a friend set Sifan Hassan (pic) of Holland on her quest for triple gold at the Olympics, she explained as she headed home with two golds and a bronze.

The Ethiopian-born Dutch runner won the 5,000m and 10,000m, and finished third in the 1,500m, in a hectic programme at the Tokyo Games and said all she wanted to do afterwards was sleep.
