It wasn't the final so the frontrunners weren't setting a blistering pace, but incredible nonetheless. All the runners are completely gassed at the end, on their knees gasping for air. Hassan just walked off the track as if nothing just happened.

There's two things you mentioned here that are interesting:-

1. It wasn't a blistering pace. In fact it was a pretty slow pedestrian heat.

2. Everyone else was gassed after that final lap.

Put the two together and you have the fact that everyone else should have had plenty in the tank for that final lap and yet once they expelled it they were knackered. Meanwhile Hassan, within what 360m(?) fell over, got back up and then ran them all down like they were all juniors or something...

Amazing stuff.

Then a couple of hours later she won the 5000m gold as easy as you like.
