I'm not American and I was extremely happy to see Coburn take that.

I thought she'd run great, under 9:10, and she exceeded that by a long shot!
I do wonder what Quigley could have done in that final if her teammates went 1-2. Is she as fit as Frerichs?
The pure hate argument must be made.
Just all out gutsy racing. Inspiring stuff. How could you not watch that and be THRILLED
Coburn and Frierichs now 6th and 7th fastest 3000m steeplechasers IN HISTORY for women. That's incredible to think about.
American Kenyan beats Kenyans.
OMFG!!!! OMFG!!!!!
I want to see ab interview!!!!
GEEZUZFINGKARYST!!!!!!
Where are all the people who said Emma would have a huge drop off having her boyfriend coach her?
What an incredible result!
The US hurdle form was far superior to the Africans, especially over the water barrier.
C'mon BroJos, let's get that flash page up!!!!
NOW CAN WE MOVE ON

Arguably the greatest race in modern day (1960-present) US distance running. Well done, ladies.

+1 the Kenyans waste so much energy making small steps before the barriers. Well done Coburn and Friedrich!!!!
Great coaching for both women.

Only a jingoistic fanboy picks them one-two. Screws up any chance I have of beating the lucky guessers that make up a good portion of the leaderboard.
Don't get me wrong I'm incredibly happy Coburn and Frerichs went 1-2 for the US but that is a major off the charts upset.

I'm trying to think of a better one....
The dominance the Kenyans had shown in this even. It was just ruthless how Coburn and Frerichs ran that last lap.
The water jump sealed it. Technique+fitness.
