Journalists do ask stupid questions. Who was the moronic journalist that asked Abby Steiner how it felt to come up short when she failed to qualify for the 200? What a fvcking idiot.
Really nothing to see here.
So journalists should only ask questions when the athletes win?
that journalists got a reaction from her, she started crying: thats what we want to see.
Given that Let’s Run is basically a troll factory, it wouldn’t surprise me if she’s untrustworthy of journalists with a Let’s Run badge. That is assuming she’s ever read through the comments here.
At Indoors, after completing the 3/5 double, the first question RoJo asked, was rather awkward, “What kept you at Florida, I mean, Katelyn (Tuohy) went pro, but you stayed at Florida, and you’re thriving. Did you ever think about leaving?”

Since her fans - most of the posters here - don't like the questions journalists ask her then maybe they should indicate what kind of questions should be asked. How much can be asked about running? Perhaps her views should be sought on current events and the upcoming US presidential election?
One of the assumptions being made here is that athletes (and not just her) - many of whom may still be in college - have a lot of interesting things to say based on their life experience, or are even much brighter than the so-called "dumb" questions being put to them. And what is the evidence for that?
And the problem with asking more detailed questions is you often don't get a response. At NCAA indoors, I asked her about some serious bruising on her legs. I got back a sarcastic response about it being a bunch of tattos and many didn't realize she was being sarcastic.
EVERYBODY knew that it was a joke; NOBODY thought they were tattoos. It was a great response to a stupid question. Maybe a journalist could get away with asking Michael Phelps that question at the 2016 Rio Olympics but not now. Cupping is well known to everyone in the athletic world.
The question was not a bad one, which fans (moi) had, because she had evidently already been asked the question, probably multiple times. But the way she somehow can pull off all of the secondary things women do (makeup, hair, nails, etc,) while setting collegiate records at the same time, is evidence that her appearance is important to her.
So was the way the question was asked interpreted to be a bit offending, in some way? Well, considering the question from RoJo before that was essentially, “Why haven’t you gone pro already like Katelyn Tuohy?”,
The questions asked of sports figures are typically innocuous and are little more than a prompt. They are largely exercises in achieving publicity for the athletes and the sport. It isn't investigative journalism. If it was most athletes would run for cover. And that isn't what the fans want to know. They prefer the media in the role of courtiers to their favorite "stars".
All the details you provided are no different the interviewing anyone else that is a top collegiate or pro athlete. They don't ask Tom Brady "So how bad did you want to win?"
False, they aask questions like that all the time.

What are you considering sports media? Do you consider the streaming of one of her races online so people can watch as "Sports media"?
Who would bother watching them if she first hadn't acquired a profile?
You are entirely missing the point.
One does not need to read an article about an athlete in order to look them up. One can simply look up the results. “Who won NCAA XC? Oh wow, this person beat Tuohy, Markezich, Lemngole, et al. I wonder who they are.” Log onto social media platform and there the are.

I wasn't suggesting that journalists "only ask questions when the athletes win" but in all honesty, how would you think that she felt after coming up short? It's just a stupid question.

Athletes should be prepared to talk about losses and disappointments. They are part of the sport.
I gotta be honest, I don't really care about parker valby. Maybe when she wins a medal or something I'll start paying attention. The only reason you "people" talk about her so much is because she's am*rican.
Only popular because she's American? Really? You don't think the fact that she is the most successful female distance runner ever to run in college might have something to do with her popularity? Or the fact that she is beautiful, funny, and charming? Did I mention beautiful?
