That was a great race. In the steeplechase and hurdles they still have to go over that last barrier. Watch Evan Jager's race where he would have won and break 8 minutes but he stumbles after the last barrier, gets 2nd place and does not break 8minutes, sad.

Coburn's hurdle technique and setup before the hurdle is amazingly consistent. She often gains on others because of that. Others often do a stutter step; which is hard not to do. Frerichs had the race of her life, too. Awesome race all around.

11:08 after watching Emma draft strategically behind the front runners the entire race, then making a push at this moment on the inside to take the win and have plenty of energy to make a dash to the end without anybody else having the stamina to catch up to her, reserving energy through smart running by drafting lead runners allows for more strength to be reserved for the final dash. Well played Emma, and the time differentiation between her old personal best and this race is phenomenal, what an improvement!

A dreamlike performance for Emma and Courtney. Theilling to watch.

I can't help but notice that the two American runners take the hurdles like hurdlers while the Kenyans and Bahrainians(?) do a sort of hop. This probably translates to a second or two over the course of the entire race. Further, both Americans land only a single foot in the water with the next step being on the track. Again the opponents most times are putting both feet into the water. That last water jump the Americans went from 2nd and 3rd to 1st and 2nd almost instantly. Awesome race!

That translates into a 1 second advantage, but more importantly it sets you up for how you will explode out, since your feet are set and your in total control, while the kenyans due to being shorter have to sacrifice on the jump itself by slowing down and also taking shorter steps to make sure they can hurdle over, cuz even a slightly lower jump will result in hitting the hurtle, while taller athletes can more or less keep thier stride. The more important part of it is the landing and how you can explode out. The kenyans are shorter, so when they land, they are off balance and not set. This played a huge advantage in the outcome of this race. Well run by the 2 americans and also well run by the runner who caught up after making that mistake on the first hurdle. Alot of athletes might of given up at that point and just went through the motions.

​@@billyboblillybob344 - your concern about the hurdles may be well-founded - even the sources available on the web attribute a small advantage to it from Hurdles First article "Developing the Steeplechaser" (hurdlesfirstbeta.com/the-magazine/back-issue/hurdle-magazine-april-2015/developing-steeplechaser-technique-training-racing-success/) "Successful steeplechase athletes often gain ground, or put extra ground, on their competitors because they are so efficient over the water pit. Efficient mechanics and good form in the air, coupled with explosion, can shave seconds off the athlete’s race time. While clearing the pit, it is very important to get out towards the end of the pit without sacrificing too much time in the air." i would add that being able to keep up in the flats - and shave seconds during the hurdles - can be enuf to win - and steeplechase victories are usually measured in seconds as i first watched this race (and another one by Coburn) - i kept wondering if her height and long legs could give her help with the barriers - in terms of physics - it should take less energy for her to jump the hurdles - (but not the water jumps where even she too jumps to the top of the barrier) - as long as her weight didn't cost her more energy than the smaller competitors over the flat terrain - and it doesn't seem to or she wouldn't be among the leaders i watched the video more closely due to your observation - and noticed that many of the other competitors - african and non-african - landed with 2 feet into the water - while the africans have been winning with that technique - landing with one foot and stepping to the track with the second may be a technique that will be significant in the future however i disagree with your implication about the last water jump - it wasn't due to the different jumping technique - Jepkemoi simply stumbled uncharacteristically at the last water jump (her body was at an angle when she landed) - allowing the americans to pass her - judging by the way she hung on to Frerich - if they were reversed - Jepkemoi would likely have been second

Chepkoech did win in 2019 and broke the championship record. Coburn took second with a new personal best time.

Truly wonderful to see! Two beautiful women on the first two places!!

I'm not a runner, nor a track-and-field expert, but I can't help make a few observations here: Part of the reason Emma is such a joy to watch is her fluidity. Her head leans both ways with each stride, the center of her vision moves side to side with each stride. Watch the telephoto lens sequence @6:40-6:51. Emma stands out from all the rest, Courtney included. Again @9:13.-9:23. Emma just lets it go, rather than force herself into a rigid style of "head up, chest out, keep the eyes looking straight over center," all of which waste energy. Emma just goes with what her moving body asks of her, and doesn't fight it--no wasted energy trying to conform to some "model," or ideal body position from moment-to-moment. Excellent coaching, and Emma takes full advantage of that, and then some. My second observation would be this: Both Emma and Courtney run with ponytails, while the Africans generally do not. This matters. A ponytail is, essentially, a weight, and in this case a weight swinging back and forth behind the head. As such, it must have a "metronome" effect, and you can see Emma's pace is consistent with--perhaps even dependent upon--that pendulum effect. Which begs the question...can a runner's pace be tweaked--just a bit--by trimming the hair to such-and-such a length so that its rhythm best matches the runners abilities? I would think so...but I don't actually know if this is something typically done. Anyone?

What an incredible, incredible race! Never paid much attention to steeplechase but I will now.

It is so awesome to see these women give everything they have to give and come out on top all the work and sacrifice is seen on the faces of these two powerful beautiful females .awesome race to watch. And coburn is beautiful and so calm.

One of the greatest races I ever seen!

This still brings me to tears when I watch it. Sheer joy and shock coming from supreme training and effort. Awesome!!

Absolutely beautiful. What a comeback!

Coburn kills water jumps and traps. When she was so close to the leader I figured she'd take the lead once beyond the water. Jebet finished 4th after she hsd to turn around and retake the water jump. What a performance by her and what a great finish to a pretty amazing race.

The athletes have amazing body types. Pretty well perfect for this sport. Sprinters are very muscular and long distance runners are muscle atrophied in their upper region.

For the first medals 1 and 2nd is impressive to say the least. Good job ladies

Phenomenal job by Coburn! She's is a beautiful specimen!

Good job girls .that was awesome ,never intimidated just putting everything they had on the track .I enjoy watching people do things that were not really expected to happen .

Emma Coburn. i have been a fan since Rio

A stellar moment in track and field history.

Good God, what a race! Incredible running by the two Americans.

Going the wrong way caused dearly and she still almost came back and won.

American girls .what a great job they did to represent USA .they never wavered or stumbled they just new what to do and that is just push and leave it all out on the track

Yeah ... so many great runners. Who's going to have a really good day and ... who's not going to have a really good day ... That's why they run the race. One thing about Coburn ... she seems to do really well coming off those jumps. I've seen her do the same thing in another race where she was behind another girl but after each jump she gained a little every time - then went on to win, surging into first after the last one. .

Fantastic!! Emma & Frederichs!! Superb

I'm a little shocked at such an elite level with so few of the athletes knowing how to go over a steeple smoothly. Tons of stutter steps, a weird feet to the side or two legs up together is not taught anywhere in the states. I think that was a huge detriment to some of them and certainly those in the back pack.

The Kenyan athletes are all about distance. They run higher mileage in the hopes of better fitness. While that plays well in an open race (flat and perhaps x-country) there are other variables to consider in a steeplechase. Normally taller runners (like Coburn) can hurdle the hurdles. Using proper technique she can gain or push a step against a runner who just jumps in the air over the hurdle (like most of the Kenyans). Landing is crucial as well. In the race you can see Coburn gain a step after each hurdle..almost two at some points.

Emma, and maybe Kurai too just let their head loll on about as they will, from side to side, and tilt as they may...and, I'm convinced, simply expend less energy. I just like watching Emma run. She flows, and it's cool.

Frerichs pulled Coburn round the penultimate 200m brilliantly and Coburn though a metre or so behind stayed on the inside line on the approach to the last water jump. Daylight opened up. Game over. Underestimate her at your peril.

As always Coburn is incredible. Frerich to pull a -16 second improvement is astonishing especially at her stage in her career.

Take a look at all the water jumps, not just the last: All the other runners-when they remembered to turn for the water jump!-were all landing in the deepest part of the water, then taking another step or two to get out; both Americans were jumping almost to the end of the jump needing only one step and less water to get out of the water. After seven of those that does start to add up.

I'm just watching to see Emma's smile.... Oh, she won too?
