!@#@!#@#@!# USA 1-2 IN STEEEPLE !@#@!#@!#@!#@!#

And to think it wasn't that long ago in Shanghai that Coburn had her big breakthrough when the field though she was the race rabbit and let her get away from the field

They know her name now.

Should have been 1-2-3, if the stupid meet officials would have put the cones in the correct position, Quigley would have gotten a medal as well!

Does this and other results mean Salazar is no longer flavor of the month?

What? She'd maybe get like 7th

what was this about 'koech gal, the favorite to win, missing a water jump ???

did she do so, then musta obviously needed to re-jump it

how much time did that cost her ?

Are you asking how much time she lost by sticking to the inside of lane 1? The track world truly is upside down now.

Where are Alberto's runners. wrote:

Lol, well for this year, probably.

You know, in a way, Alberto is responsible for all this USA distance success.

He set the path to get American's to believe they could compete with the tops in the world again... And he got Schumacher hired by Nike in case he croaked.

A rising tide, lifts all boats.

The renaissance of American distance and middle distance...roots back to LRC's Darth Vader, Alberto Salazar.

These two are definitely doped up. Not only did they just run some big PB's (with one nearly running a flat 3k PB) they beat of bunch of dopers in the process. But ya know, everyone but us Americans dope so there's that. If these were two Kenyans or Ethiopians that ran PB's in those increments to win, the pitchforks would most certainly be out right now.

Here's the updated all-time fastest list:

The real question is where can I see this race? It's really a detriment to our sport that a quick replay isn't available and the full races aren't available anywhere online!

It's all on YouTube but it seems to be blocked in the USA.

Try a free VPN like TunnelBear - I'm in North Korea aka Canada.

In todays political climate using a North Korean VPN might not be the wisest choice a person can make.

Yes...it is very WEAK!

WRONG. Look at how these Americans won, they beat the Africans at their own game. Kudos to Emma and Courtney, they ran 2 of the best runs ever, pure heart and guts. Good for them, makes America proud.

In Frerichs' account of her thoughts, Schumacher's pre race comments had an almost shamanistic effect in cueing her to the opportunities at the front of the race. That is how greatness works in coaching.

Jerry can go to bed a very very happy and fulfilled coach tonight.

Coburn was certainly inspired, but it was more a matter of her feeling extremely fit and having experience on her side.

As for Ayana: remember she was a 9:22 steepler before she "magically" found out she was the best 5/10 runner in history. Kind of like how Mo at 27 suddenly discovered a hidden talent for winning championships when previously he couldn't sniff the podium.

Eat a bag of glass you idiot

The worst barrier-clearing technique of all belonged to Diro, the seventh-place Ethiopian. It was almost comically ridiculous. At one point, she went over with both legs together and landed three lanes further outside.

I saw that and thought maybe she got shoved, but no one else was around her!

BOSS SO HARD MOF**KAS WANNA GOLD ME

Eat a bag of penises sir. Never ever is it okay to speak down to the troops. We get to live a free life thanks to them.

Too much losing. Not your fault. #MAGA

When we bail your a$$ out again in WWIII you won't be so smug, puss.

Congratulations USA on your steepchaser win. I tip you guys to step up and win one of the big distance events in furture years.
