Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands put on a show in the final moments of the marathon, out sprinting world record holder Tigst Assefa of Ethiopia for one of the great marathon performances of all time. But it was not without its controvery, as Hassan and Assefa made contact with about 200m to go.

We also discuss Nike's big win, if Hassan is the next Kipchoge, and what happened to American runner Fiona O'Keeffe (and why some are upset about her DNF).
