With this iconic feat, she is now the first-ever Woman to attain this feat, as this type of feat was achieved only once in the entire history of Olympics, and that came at the Helsinki Olympics 1952, where Emil Zatopek achieved three gold medals in the Men's category.

"I feel like I am dreaming. I only see people on the TV who are Olympic champions. The marathon is something else, you know. When you do 42 kilometres in more than two hours and 20 minutes, then every single step you feel so hard and so painful. When I finished, the whole moment was a release. It is unbelievable. I have never experienced anything like that. Even the other marathons I have run were not close to this. When I finished, I couldn’t stop celebrating. I was feeling dizzy. I wanted to lie down. Then I thought, ‘I am the Olympic champion. How is this possible?'," said Sifan Hassan after her historic win, as reported by Olympics.
