Hope of a nation and she prevail.
She just wan not gonna be beat that night….great moment.

I canβt even imagine the pressure she mustβve been under.
20 years later, this is still as epic as ever.
This is a clinic on relaxed running. Amazing finals run
Why am I crying? Just re watched this for the first time since it happened.
Loved watching this live. Very proud
its prolly the first aerodynamic hijab suit that won gold.

Despite the win that ridiculous suit made no difference, she would have won without it
