POST-RACE DATA ANALYSIS - SYDNEY 2025 - Hassan’s Unmatched Efficiency: A Four-Minute Margin of Supremacy

Sifan Hassan’s 2:18:22 victory was a masterclass in controlled dominance. In a major race where the second and third place runners (Kosgei and Edesa) finished within two minutes of each other, Hassan’s nearly four-minute gap over the previous course record is the most telling statistic. Her pacing profile showed minimal degradation throughout the race. This suggests extraordinary physiological efficiency, allowing her to run at a consistent, high-intensity pace where rivals, even those as skilled as Brigid Kosgei, experienced significant relative split decay.

The narrow six-second margin over Evans Chebet (2:07:45) confirms that the race was decided purely in the final, agonizing kilometer in Central Park. Nageeye’s ability to find that final acceleration, or "kick," after navigating the bridges and hills, shows superior management of his anaerobic reserve. On a challenging course where times are generally slower, the tight finish highlights that the pacing strategy was conservative early, leading to a maximal effort finish.
