It was a great finish: all three fighting through the bell lap straight to the tape. No one cracked. Kudos.

Parker found a bit of a kick. She’s a superstar. Congrats Parker. I don’t think people realise how young she is for this distance. Huge huge future. I always thought the 5k but it’s going to be 10k wow

At this point she’s still not on the team. Both Valby and Schweizer are hoping they are high enough in the world rankings that come out later today to get in. As of now they are both too far down to be likely to make it (Schweizer 55, Valby 81) The rankings are based on a clearly defined point system. They will definitely get points for this race but will it be enough?

@@classicalwit I agree, she did far better than I expected at this point in her running career. She has a very bright future. At the same time the fact that only three US men and two US women had met the Olympic standard for the 10,000 (Alicia Monson is the other woman and she is out for the season with an injury) indicates the sad state of distance running in this country.

Not fast enough for the 5000m at the professional level but 10,000m shows promise. Lots of development still needed as the World runners are much faster than the US in the 10,000m.

I love it how they keep talking about how hot it is and they ask Park how she was with the heat , and she says I’m from Florida I love it

Weini Kelati has the means to challenge for a medal. What she must do is to keep up with Chebet, Gudraf and Gidey in the middle races. She can kick with anyone if she is there at the end. Kelati has a very efficient and disciplined form, which allows her to conserve her energy.

It now appears official that both Schweizer and Valby have made the Olympics based on world rankings. Congratulations to all three of these women.

Congrats to the top three finishers. Very exciting and enjoyable race. And goodness, such awesome runners. I'm so happy for Kelati. What an extraordinary life story she has. And Schweizer is having such an amazing year in running. I think it was very smart of Parker to not try to lead the race from the beginning. Conserve your energy as much as possible so you can stay with the runners at the end. She is learning and growing. When she runs against the world's top runners at the Olympics, it will be another huge learning experience. For her to finish in 2nd in this race is awesome. Go Team USA!

ValbyMania Lives On! Congrats Young Lady ❤🎉❤ And all the others as well The most exciting finish of the Trials with 3 in contention in a 10000m

Elly Henes has ran a 14:47 5k and 30:48 10k last year...if only the olympic trials was held last year she'd be a household name and probably an Olympian in one of those. Someone has to acknowledge this, she is one of the few NCAA champs in the last 4 years who actually got significantly better as a pro, but she hasn't peaked at the time of big events.

I changed my mind about Parker Valby, she is one cool girl.

terrific finish!💛💛💛 rooting for Kelati!

Indeed there is a lot untapped potential from this young phonomn in due time she will gain strength and wisdom to the art of distance running I can see it in her eyes she's competing from the heart.. needs a touch of the killer instinct to venture into another dimension to cross the pain threshold to another level.. showed a lot of character.. hanging on ... second was fabulous here. In due time she dominate any distance.. most important factor she's 🎉 going the main arena

Thanks to NBC’s poor camera work and making the interview screen bigger than the runner coverage, they missed Parker moving from the rear to close to the front.

That was an awesome race. Shows how 3 were elites among elites

Wow what a race, what a finish. What a see saw finish. After 25 laps these 3 women ran what a finish. Congratulations to all three women. But kelati ran what a race. she did not give up. But Parker Valby ran a great race. she is gaining in experience. Too good. Karissa really pushed the pace.

Going to the Olympics.Each athletes are fighting to represent their mother country. What a beautiful reason! Love athletic sports ❤

@@CCat52 Sorry, that’s not correct. The world rankings are based on events within the past 12 or 18 months (depending on the event) and must include a minimum number of competitions. The calculation is a combination of performance scores (based on place and time), event rankings, and other elements. There is a long description of the methodology on the World Athletics web site.

Parker Valby is cool.

Very likely. Automatic qualifiers up to 3 per country will take up some of the field. Then they fill out the rest of the field based on world ranking. On paper Parker and Karissa are on the bubble, but about 6 of those ranked ahead of them are hurt or unlikely to compete for one reason or another. We'll know for sure in a week.

She did, it it's her ranking and points based on all her races this year I believe in that event. For the 5k if any of the top three winners who are all doubling decide only to race the 1500, then she would be number 3 on the 5k team. So basically she probably will be in the 10k and 5k, but will probably only do one. We will know within a week or so for the 10k.
