Tokyo Olympics 2020: People Praise This Athlete
This year's Olympics has a lot of inspirational stories, from Simone Biles who withdrew from the Olympics to focus on her mental health to the Indian women’s hockey team who made history by qualifying for the semi-finals, there are many such motivating instances.
The latest story is of Sifan Hassan, the long-distance runner from The Netherlands, who tripped and fell during the 1,500-meter race but got back up, ran again, and ultimately won the race!
As per the reports, Sifan Hassan fell after Kenya’s Edinah Jebitok took a tumble in front of her, causing her to fall as well, as runners jostled ahead. However, the girl got back instantly and overtook others, winning the race.
This is an incredible recovery by the #Netherlands’ Sifan #Hassan who fell down with a lap to go in the 1500m, got up, and won her heat.

Imagine being so good at a track event that you can fall with a lap to go, get up, and still beat a field of elite athletes while looking totally composed crossing the line. Unreal. https://t.co/zqY2XbcJhr
