Valbymania!!

HERE COME DAT VALBYMANIA!!!!

Parker Valby pacing again.

Valby straight to the front

Valby out too slow. huge fan but she truly does have no speed

Haha thanks. Good for Hong Kong.

Valby gonna make it an honest race!

He was in second at 300, then swam a 12.83 final 100.

That’s F for final, not female. Otherwise it would list WR not NR

Did Elle Henes break an American indoor record last year and win an audacious double at the US indoor championship? Did Henes win silver at the world championships last year?

That was an incredibly strange start from her. Needless waste of energy.

SHE'S A MOM

Not weird at all for NBC... Diversity...Native American angle

valby looks nervous/not loose. Think she will blow up

The best way to front run a fast 5k is to not overdo it early and pick it up marginally throughout. If she starts clicking off 70.xx laps it’ll be the best she can do.

i forget, do the top 2 go to Paris or top 3?

That fat Giardiance lady weighs as much as the entire 5K field.

Is it just me or does she already look like she's straining? Her arm swing seems a bit higher than usual

I was looking at the first 10 seconds where she seemed last off the line.
