Coburn DNFd her opening steeplechase of year. Anyone know what happened. Was hoping it would be a good opener for her.

America's best steepler of the last decade probably has reached the twilight of her steeple career.
The ‘Thon or Ultras?
Typical bosshard. He can't coach a paperback. Took wet wetmore training and then blew it up because of his hubris and thought he knew better. Emma luckily in an event no world class ladies compete in. Team focused on lavish vacays, weddings, insta poses. Lots of tears. Nobody has a JOB. Meanwhile she pushed a kid off a track!
She and Frerichs are done. New steeple queens incoming ... Hoping Allie O can sneak in a spot if she improves.
Apparently Coburn tweaked her ankle.
You sound like a sad and pathetic little man.
What's your shoe size?
Yep. But it seems hard for athletes as a rule to realize/accept this. She was exciting to root for!
Anyone know what position she was in before dropping with 1k to go?
You again? Seriously, you are mentally ill.
Dude, she’s literally won the world championship and taken bronze at the Olympics. She’s a TEN TIME national champion. Whatever personal beef you have with her doesn’t change that. I suggest you man (or woman?) up and go discuss your obvious problems with her camp like an adult. Otherwise, you just come off as a weirdly obsessive Karen.

Bottom line.

I keep seeing this but what happened? Give details. I notice they share the track with the gym classes. That’s nice of this public school because here you are not allowed on a track during school hours. I can see that being a problem though for all these pro athletes who are extremely fast and kids getting in the way. I’m sure there was an explanation. It looks like the kids typically stay on the outside lanes and accommodate the runners.

Let's accept the premise that Emma Coburm made physical contact with a minor at a public track.
If you're going to make this claim, please provide context.
Scenario 1:
EC was running a hard workout in Lane 1 and a poorly supervised kid darted in front of her and EC instinctively put her hands out to keep from slamming into the kid and kept on running after brushing past the kid like most focused athletes would. The kid was startled and the parents, unaware of common track etiquette requiring slow runners to stay out of Lane 1, got upset.
Scenario 2:
EC was jogging in lane 1 and noticed a kid giggling and walking in Lane 4. EC became enraged at the sound of a happy child and cursed at the child, telling the kid this was her track and the kid should scram. Three minutes later, as she started to lap the kid again, she sprinted up to the kid from behind, violently shoved the kid and screamed "Get off and stay off, squishy face." Then EC jogged off chanting, "I'm the champ, I'm the champ, I'm the champ...
I feel like some version of Scenario 1 is a lot more likely than Scenario 2.
I was watching the CNBC coverage, wondering what they'd say about the DNF. As it turned ot, they didn't even notice! As the leaders finished the announcer said, umm, we don't see Emma Colburn, we'll have to watch for her. Guys, she dropped out at 2K, so with several laps to go; were they not paying any attention? How did this escape the notice of the entire broadcasting team?
Pathetic, even for NBC.
