The 23-year-old collapsed exhausted after crossing the finish line. He ran the second half of the race in just 59min 45sec. Hassan, who has won Olympic gold in the 5,000m and 10,000m, made a dramatic comeback after an early injury to prevail over Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir and defending London champion Yelamzerf Yehualaw in what organisers said was the best-yet elite women’s field for the event.
