COURTNEY MOTHER FV<KIN FRERICHS

UNREAL RACE. Awesome to see Courtney back up that Silver with a huge performance

8:44?????????? She looked WAY too comfortable at the finish

Yep, Courtney looked amazing on the replay coming down the backstretch.

Got beat by 16 seconds,, Woo Hoo

What??second best on planet earth? The second best is Celliphine Chespol. Courtney has not ran sub 9 minutes!! Get it right!!!!Kenya is about to dominate the steeplechase. That lucky Huddle Gold will be the last one. I predict Kenya topping the medal table in Doha 2019.

Someone update Courtney's Wikipedia page. It still says 9:03.

You can sing about the doper song for the next 10 years when our athletes who are still very young dominate the steeplechase. After the under 20 debacle of the USA team, the future is not that bright. You can't edit the wikipedia page yourself? It's not that hard....

Haha..I can name over 20 American dopers both current and retired starting with 100m of Rogers, Gay and Gatlin,when it comes to doping Americans are masters,

I forgot we were talking about the 100 meters....

She also beats Emma Coburn, reigning world and American champ. Does this make her the best American steepler?

She easily has some of the best steeple form in the world but her speed is still lacking. She only has a 3000 flat pr 7 seconds faster than her steeple pr so she’ll have to work those times down. She’s still young(only 25) so she has time.

We just witnessed the end to Coburn’s dominance over US women’s steeple. It’s been coming but the rapid improvement by Frerichs only points to her getting stronger or maintaining the pole position for several years.

When I first broke 60 for the 440, my two-mile was 10:45. She converts it to 9:00 (which maybe 9:10 for 2M). Pretty wicked strength there.

Her new target should be 8:43

Great race, only a matter of time before she passed up Coburn I guess. Too bad it was overshadowed by the 8:44. In the coming years the women's steeple will be a race for 2nd as long as B Chepkoech doesn't make a wrong turn.

Coburn's demise has been coming, we have seen over her last series of races. Being self and husband coached is her trip up. She still has the ability, but will not maximize being coached by her hubby.

Guarantee it that the top Americans and Europeans are just as dirty as the east Africans and Moroccans. They're all dirty.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Coburn is still superior to Frerichs, who doesn't risk the front end. When you are content to remain back in the pack in fields of this caliber, you'll occasionally pick up the pieces when others falter but you aren't a serious contender for best in the world.

I guarantee the other countries still fear Coburn more than Frerichs, just like Jager is respected more than another American male who would linger in 5th or 6th place throughout, race after race.

Terrific race from Frerichs. She hadn't run fast this year. Now she has smashed the American record and backed up her silver medal last year. Coburn was only five seconds back, in a season best, and I don't know whether Coburn was starting too fast and dying while Frerichs ran an even pace or what, so hard to conclude that there is much of a real gap between them. Coburn thought her training had her ready to run sub 9. That will probably happen then. And you just cannot question her coaching right now, because she still ran 7 seconds under Simpson's old American record (pre-Coburn record) and she still won the gold at World's last year (she didn't just get a one year advantage from new stimuli in switching coaches--it is lasting).

YEP. Just like Amos at the end of his 1:42. Those guys who said drug use would be cranked up and enforcement slackened when it comes to E. Africans and third world runners in general are starting to look like geniuses.
