Courtney Frerichs went for gold and was rewarded with silver as Peruth Chemutai of Uganda got the upset win and Emma Coburn was not a factor.

Three women in the field have won global titles but none have ever won Olympic gold. This should be a great one. *Discuss

Two years ago, Americans Emma Coburn and Courtney Frerichs shocked the world in London. Now the Kenyans, led by WR holder Beatrice Chepkoech, are out for revenge.

Beatrice Chepkoech put up the greatest season in the history of the women's steeplechase while Emma Coburn held on to her #1 US ranking despite losing her American record to Courtney Frerichs.

Luckily no one was seriously injured. After things returned to normal, America's world champ Emma Coburn nearly go the twin.

The women's steeplechase has never been better than it has been in 2017. Olympic medallist Emma Coburn very well may break her American record but fail to medal.

On Saturday morning, it will be time to turn off the cartoons and tell the kiddos they'll be watching track as the Shanghai DL starts at 7 am ET. If you don't have kids, maybe the exciting action will put you in the mood to start a family. 

Track and field's opening day did not disappoint as the women's steeple was historically good, we're excited about the men's 5000 for the first time in years, and a new 21-year old star won an event in just his fourth attempt at the event ever in his life.

Jebet won Olympic gold, crushed the world record and put together the greatest season ever by a women's steepler. Coburn has dominated the U.S. scene for years and took it one step further in 2016 by winning her first Olympic medal.

Jebet missed the world record by less than a second as Coburn broke the American record in winning bronze.

Kenyan-born Ruth Jebet of Bahrain (8:59.97) and reigning world champ Hyvin Kiyeng of Kenya (9:00.01) almost broke the world record at Pre and sit 2-3 on the all-time world list. Coburn has the #3 time in the world this year thanks to her American record in the same race, but to get a medal, she'll have to beat either Jebet, Kiyeng or reigning Olympic champ Habiba Ghribi of Tunisia (whose 9:05.36 last year puts her #4 all-time).

We break every event down for you including wins by Joe Kovacs and Andre De Grasse as well as 3:59 equivalent for a 15-year old!!

What a race!

Two Americans crack the top 10. *LRC Coburn: "In general, [I was happy with 2015]. I wish I could have run a PR; that was a goal that I really wanted."

What a way to end the season. The men's 800 is WAY better than the World Championships final and the men's 5,000 might result in the American record falling. We break it down for you.

Coburn: "I'm bummed..... I thought I could medal. I was confident that I could.....I just got to keep at it and come away with some hardware in Rio."
