Tuohy Clearly Disgusted by Reporter's Comment

Hell yeah good for her. She doesn’t want to hear from some soft spoken 40 year old dork objectifying young student athletes.

Hopefully this will be enough to convince some of the Tuohy fans to lay off the Valby doping accusations. Really annoying and offhand comment by the reporter.

time stamp it buddy so I don't have to watch the whole darn video

Tuohy triggered over everything.

It's not other people's fault if you can't read

Reaction by Tuohy was absolutely priceless. Not just her saying "damn" loud enough for everyone to hear it but also her facial reaction. Then she just stared at the guy in disbelief that he could be stupid and rude enough to say that.

Also, I don't know where the talk about Valby "putting on muscle" is coming from. She is lean and fit, that is all. Emma Coburn looks a helluva lot more ripped than just about any distance runner and even she does not have much muscle. She is very lean and very fit so her abs are a serious six-pack and she has quite a bit of vascularity in her legs and arms but this does not mean she has a lot of muscle. I had the opportunity to talk to her for a few minutes a couple years ago and was surprised that she was as thin as she was. She's a world champion distance runner, so it is only natural that she is light weight. You are not going to see a female with FloJo muscles winning any 5000m races.

I'm really impressed with Tuohy.

Good sportswoman with a good head on her shoulders. Her comment about how more names should be in the mix in tomorrow's race was spot on. Showing respect to her competitors.

Expressing disgust at a reporter comment to another competitor shows class. She looks out for others.

What a weird gross comment to an amateur athlete. if you have doping allegations, direct them at her coach.

Is there something I'm missing here? Commenting on an athletes muscle gain isn't offensive...like at all. It's pretty appropriate, actually, given the context. Saying that being "disgusted" by his observation is overdramatic would be a massive understatement.

Any chance that was "astro"?

I don't think most of the people who joined via zoom are reporters, they are fans. The man identified himself as somewhat a Valby fan by saying he watched her in High school, he proceeded to comment about Valby's physique changes straight in her face to which Tuohy clearly did not appreciate, good for her for reacting the way she did.

Real press know how to respect athletes.

I feel bad that people are so obsessed with Katelyn that every single detail of her life is a talking point on these boards and others.

Yeah, I agree. Just because a few kooks on LetsRun point to Valby’s physique as evidence that she’s doping, there’s no reason to assume that’s what the reporter was insinuating. And the “objectifying young women” line of thinking is peculiar to me, since commentators and sports reporters have been commenting on athletes’ muscular development since the beginning of time. They do run the races with their bodies.

If an old man comments about your daughter's body and asks her about it, you will just nod and be happy?

THE LIGHTS. GET THEM OFF. OFFFFFF. TURN THOSE LIGHTS OFF

Yep. The reporters comment wasn't sexual at all. Tuohy was the one being weird, not the reporter.

If someone commented about a male athlete putting on muscle, should the reasonable reaction be to get angry?

Answer the question first, If you're going to let an old stranger comment about your daughter's body in front of people.

We are living in a world where nobody knows what might be considered creepy or offensive anymore. We men can say the question seemed OK (I was more creeped out by the dude saying he has been watching her since HS, just the way he said it, not that it is inappropriate) and then the women can say oh it was an inappropriate question and nobody really knows for sure because it is largely subjective although the “offended” seem to be the ones who dictate the rules.
