The two-time world champion over 5,000m finished outside the medal bracket in the 10,000m final on Saturday at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. I think I will run one 10,000m maybe next year and then I will end my career on the track,” the world cross country champion said. Finishing fourth at the Olympics is very unlucky for any athlete, but at least I am not leaving Tokyo empty-handed,” Obiri said. Bahrain’s Kalkidan Gezehegne finished in second place to take the silver medal. Hassan clocked 29:55.32 for the gold medal while Gezehegne crossed the line in 29:56.16 for the silver medal with Gidey’s 30:01.42 only good enough for bronze medal position.
