Just posted she won't be racing.
I imagine the Olympics mentally devasted her. I hope she can bounce back.
Discus.
LRC friendly reminder. As a courtesy to other visitors, if you are going to cite a post or article, please link to that post. Here is the instagram post:
Prediction: She will be back strong for '22 WC in Oregon and she will medal in Paris. Then retire or do some road racing.

Damn, we just recorded our podcast and really were torn as to who has the best chance to break 9:00 this weekend - her or Frerichs. We all thought sub-9 would happen as the weather will be great.
Where did she post this?

please discuss how she gets a "F" (perhaps rightly) however, Centro, who can't even get out of the semi's, does not.
Ah disappointing. She needs to get back on the horse. Frerich is definitely taking the #1 spot as USA steepler. Regardless of the reason, unless she's injured she should be racing.
Her Instagram.

The women's steeple is like a high school race in terms of depth compared to the men's 1500m.
She even gave herself an F. And now it seems she's fearful of going head to head with the silver medalist.
Jeruto might have something to prove after missing the Olympics. If she is in form and Chepkoech can maintain longer than norm for 2021, maybe Frerichs will latch close enough to go sub 9 minutes. Actually I think Frerichs could save many seconds per race simply by not stutter stepping to every barrier. That's the one aspect where Coburn is markedly superior. Otherwise Frerichs is more sudden and versatile.
More likely, since she acts as her own agent, they won't pay her what she wants. Pre is basically a Nike meet with very few exceptions. Frerichs is Nike and the silver medalist so they are likely lowballing Coburn, who's with New Balance.

Interesting that she decided to drop out after LRC gave her an F. Some people take criticism harder than others.
At least this time she didn't quit on-camera.

You all are absurd. She is as consistent as they come. One tough spot of racing does not erase that. I’ll still put my money on her any day over Courtney.

okay , emma had one bad race
I don’t care that much, as long as the steeple queen, Courtney Frerichs is racing.
I wouldn’t be surprised, if Courtney breaks the American record.
9:00.10 for Courtney.
I don't disparage Emma for taking a time out. #selfcare
Nike is not paying emma coubrn.
So, why should emma run a nike meet, without getting paid. I think Emma made the right decision, by skiiping this race.
That being said, I belive Courtney Frerichs is better than Emma couburn at this moment, and I am extremely excited to watch her race on Saturday. I think she will go sub 9.
