Emma Coburn jogs it in

Because one good run does not make a career. Coburn owns 13 of the 16 fastest times in US history, along with WC gold, WC silver, and Olympic bronze. Frerichs still has a long way to go to match Coburn, even with her silver today.

3x world medalist and 1x world champion that had only lost to Frerichs once ever before today.

Her PR is only 1.5 s slower than Frerichs. She's got a bronze from Rio, a gold from London WC and a silver from Doha WC. It's not crazy to pay her a lot of attention. Frerichs had no global medals before this.

Frerichs won world silver in 2017 mang.

Got dq’d from Rule 17.3.2.

“In all races: (or any part of races) not run in lanes, an athlete running on a bend, on the outer half of the track as per Rule 17.5.2 of the Technical Rules, or on any curved part of the diversion from the track for the steeplechase water jump, shall not step or run on or inside the kerb or line marking the applicable border (the inside of the track, the outer half of the track, or any curved part of the diversion from the track for the steeplechase water jump).

My guess is when she fell over the barrier, she fell inside the track past the rail or stepped inside the track during the race or something. Who knows. All I know is that Courtney is a beast for running with guts

Until today, Emma beat Courtney in pretty much every head to head race except when the AR was set including when she was World Champ and every US championship

I stand corrected!

she used her hand to climb over a barrier

This is actually allowed, or at least it used to be.

Coburn gets more attention because until today her tally of medals vs. Frerichs was 3-1.

I am disappointed in her.

Giving your maximum effort, should be a requirement for representing your country in the Olympics

Ok pal; we'll see you out there.

Hmm. Seems like she pulled a Biles. She flaked. She realized she wasn't in the hunt for a medal. That Courtney was racing and she wasn't up to task for some reason. So she basically gave up. I'm sad for her but this was her 3rd and final Olympics. She was a great steeplechase and did a lot to put womens steeplechase on the map i the U.S. but Courtney is now top dog, premiere womens steeplechase now. Congrats to her!

She fell on the barrier and went inside the track.

prioritizing ones mental health and having a bad day in the steeplechase are to vastly different things..

😂😂😂

Every now and then World Athletics throws in a steeple or two, just to keep it interesting.

Would they really DQ someone for falling over a barrier and happening to land partially inside the rail? What was her competitive advantage in that situation?

Well before this I thought I saw her come close to stepping on the line on the bend right after a water jump. I think she was just starting to fall back at this point.
