Dutch distance legend Sifan Hassan will return to Wanda Diamond League action in the women’s mile at the 11th leg of the series in London on July 19.
Three-time Diamond League champion Hassan makes her first appearance of the 2025 Diamond League season in London, the city where she won her marathon debut back in 2023.
“I’ve learned so much about myself racing in London, both on the road and the track, and I’m excited to return and to compete again at the Olympic stadium,” said the 2024 World Athlete of the Year.
“Last year my curiosity pushed me to take a risk and compete in three distances at the Paris Games. I know I’m probably a bit crazy to mix it up so much, but I like the combination of track and road and I want to see what is possible. Now that the London Marathon is over, I will be returning to shorter distances for the track season. I enjoy these different races, tactics and distances, and I am looking forward to seeing what I can do in the Diamond League mile in London!”
Hassan is one of the most successful female athletes in Diamond League history with 18 individual victories and three titles to her name.
She won the 1500m title in 2015 before winning a 1500m and 5000m double in 2019, a year in which she also set a mile world record at the Monaco Diamond League.
The Dutch star is also a three-time Olympic gold medallist and a two-time world champion.
