- Not even Emma Coburn, the 2017 IAAF World Champion steeplechaser, is immune to race day nerves. How did an anxious, small town athlete become a world champion? We caught up with Emma Coburn in her home town of Crested Butte, Colorado to get a glimpse of her life after winning Gold and why starting the Elk Run 5k is so important to her.

She looks like nothing less than an Olympian god when she runs. There is no other way to put it. The fact that she is a beautiful person inside just makes it even more inspiring.
Truly, a freakin goddess.
I love how the people of the town identify with what they enjoy, as what they do, not what their job title is that pays their bills. What a great town!
The beginning made me tear up 😭
Me too
Yup. Bawled like a baby.
Same here
really - what do you expect from her family and friends.

When someone tells you, "you run like a girl". Just smile and remember Emma. Flawless stride, perfect runner.
I'm Leah's dad. 57 disabled vet. I'm inspired by your story Emma. I've just been told I'm a diabetic. I'm going to start walking and hopefully running. GOD bless you, your family, and wonderful community.
Don’t know how I came across this, but I saw her race replay the other day from the steeplechase a while back. She’s got a great mindset. It’s frankly something we should all aspire to.
When a Star shines as bright as you Emma, it only can help others to see the true good human spirit.
Watching Emma on TH-cam sparked an old fire inside me. I ran track from the 6 grade on. After my Father died when I was 7 years old running was my therapy. Sadly I never was good enough to go past high school like millions of average people who have a history of competition. I see my dreams fulfilled through you. Congratulations and Thank you very much for the memories. Don’t make my mistake NEVER STOP RUNNING. 👍🏻🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
*Whoever edited the beginning should be making Hollywood movies.*
_Tears came out of my eyeballs but I am not crying because I'm a man. Must be something in the air._
same. Somehow someone is always cutting up onions when I see her win that championship. Strange.
Same here....both my daughters were runners and this brought tears of joy I couldnt hold back
@@bobf5360 it’s the fact no one expected it. When you prepare daily, you are ready to seize the opportunity when it’s given. That race was epic.
@@RealLifeFinance yeah movies are one thing, but to see this actually happen with no script, that makes it way more powerful.
Those damned onion-cutting ninjas!
man watching this i wish i had a community like this. how fortunate and blessed to live in a small community with people who love and support you.
Ha! Ha! Yes ... there is a good side to living some where that everyone knows you and loves you ... but ...
One of the things about them ALL knowing you and loving you ... is that they ALL know everything you do and have an opinion on it ...
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! HA!
.
Both comments true... But I would prefer the smaller setting now days for my kids. I was raised in both environments when growing up, but I didn't have all the political views pushed upon me bk then. I really feel for these kids now days! Everyone is pushing an agenda upon them. Let the kids be kids!
The 5 largest ethnic groups in Crested Butte, CO are White (Non-Hispanic) (95.3%), White (Hispanic) (2.61%), Other (Non-Hispanic) (1.79%), American Indian & Alaska Native (Hispanic) (0.299%), and Black or African American (Non-Hispanic) (0%).
We are blessed. Thanks for noticing and appreciating that. The coolest part is Emma is a really good person too, not just an amazing athlete
The world needs more people like Emma and her family.
Yeah , good genes are both attractive and compelling.
Nature's way to make more of these people !

@@plusbonus1165 That makes no sense.
My mom coached Emma in HS we saw her running today in Crested Butte. They are very nice people.
Love the way she runs... It looks like she is just crusing along. As it has been said, "Motion in harmony".
...and at 14 mph too. She is an athlete in every sense of the word and a true inspiration.
I'm not even a "runner"; I'm a huge football fan. But I'm a fan of Emma. Like a gazelle, she is "art in motion" when she's running. She has a mind of steel, yet she's compassionate and passionate. Her parents MUST be so proud of her. But even more important than even her accomplishments on the track is her compassion for others. I wish her and her husband, Joe, and family all the best.
In fourth grade, I told girl I had a crush on that she ran like a gazelle thinking it was a huge compliment. She never spoke to me again.....oops.
Every time I watch Emma's steeplechase race my heart fills with joy , my eye's well up , I'm so happy for her and the things she has done since.
I feel the same!
Accidentally found Emma...and followed her to 'here'. Wow. Makes me proud to be a woman and an American.
Just saw this today August 1, 2022. At 59 and a former top Athlete I got teared up watching her win and how excited her family was. A true inspiration. My son who turned 20 yesterday had all senior year sports cancelled being a 2020 high school graduate so he turned to weight training and physique competition and just won both of the Northeast divisions in the teen group. I sent this video to him to give him more motivation and continue as a champion on and off the field as Emma is. God Bless her.
That's amazing. Congrats to your son!
First of all, thank Aric Van Halan for the great phone video at the beginning of this video. But all of us flatlanders dream about having the altitude training that Emma has built in from her very birth. She is so well-trained and methodical you almost know what the race will look like before it happens. One thing I remember clearly when she and Cort passed the leader and finished 1-2. The US had never won a medal in the steeple up to that point in Olympic or World Championship competition. They finished with Gold and Silver, America's first Steeple medals ever. So, scream and jump up and down all you want sis. She earned it!
Inspirational role model to anyone who never thought they could be a "runner." Emma gives us hope that anything is possible on any given day.

I’ve never heard of this girl before this video and I’m still crying watching this. Amazing video of what seems like an awesome person. Amazing videography and editing too.
Anyone else not see much after 1:30 mark because their eyes were full of tears?
I love when ppl appreciate and admire the greatness that exists right beneath them. It requires introspection, humility, and empathy to find contentment. Emma seems to have contentment. That doesn't mean complacency or lack of motivation.... it means you can take satisfaction away from what you are currently doing or what you feel your purpose is. Its beautiful and inspiring.
AWESOME story! Sadly I did not even know about Emma's story until now in 2020. That is one positive thing to come out of COVIV-19 quarantine. We need more of this! God bless you Emma and go Team USA! BTW, incredibly well-done documentary. Subscribed!
That race makes me cry every time!

It was worthy of your tears.
@@es2709 Definitely worth mine.....so proud.
emma, i'm very proud of you, you earned all my pride in americans getting back on top! thank you, you are amazing!
I love to watch the development of young athletes in general but Emma Coburn is now officially my number one athletics hero. She deserves a gold medal just for her social engagement. I accept that her beautiful sister will always be her number one fan but I am going to be near the top of that list from now on. Go girl!
This is such a great video. The World Championship footage is incredible ❤❤
Colorado is SO proud of Emma 👍✌️
This is the America I love and I hope the spirit shown in this video flourishes across the Country. God bless America.
Emma Coburn, all the best Coburn. Best wishes from Kenya. Go girl!!
Impressive athlete! Even more impressive as a person!!
Congratulations. You truly ARE a hometown hero. God bless you and your family. I only wish there were millions of people like you in the world. Gilcortez from Texas
Thank you for telling Emma's Story! Her humility is admirable.
Watching Ms Emma run, her stride is...pure fluid silk, power & efficiency, with turbocharged speed. She is an American beauty!
My favorite roll recovery video. Emma is authentic and awesome.
What a fine motivating story. The opening scenes, sounds are the best and I appreciate those who put it together.
Looks like a beautiful soul, a wonderful community, and a mini-paradise on earth.
@@steffyschell1259 You're right. The best, safest, and most beautiful places left in America are still 90-95+ percent white. All the places that are 80 percent and below are beginning to turn into open sewers.
Well maybe the reasons for that are quite complex and not necessarily the fault of those so effected. Of course to realize and understand that, one must have compassion and the ability to see past one's own narrow point of view.....
Neon Naughtsie Crested Butte is an expensive town to live in. It keeps out the rif raf. Expensive ski town.
Her love of her simple life and upbringing is divine to watch.
The beauty of her heart -combined with the external one!!I was touched by your character Emma,may be some day I'll run in your race.
Emma = Real role model - hero of many.
I’m so impressed with this woman. I just found out about her. The comments here are beautiful , encouraging and supportive.
You’ve been missing out. Emma is awesome on the track and from what I can tell is an even better person.
I was searching for Emma's sister and friends cheering her on through a memory I posted on facebook a year ago. I'm glad I ran into this video. What a honest, beautiful heart and soul person her and who she surrounds herself with! You can tell from the end of the video the passion she has into her town and community. Way to go Emma and friends. You guys/gals are a great example for not just young folks to emulate , but us all! I'm going to look this race up now and see if I can put it on the calendar in my recovery to race again! Thank you for sharing this video Roll Recovery!
Emma, you are amazing. Was one of my favorite moments in track and field when you won Worlds with Courtney.
So glad she talks about being a woman and an inspiration to women and girls 🙏🤗🥰
HIGH-altitude, thinner air would certainly help ‘up’ your game. Emma’s a phenomenal athlete that nature helped nurture to prominence. Go far…GO LONG Emma. Congratulations!
She's amazing. Strong, confident and beautiful.
God bless her, her whole family, and everyone in that pristine small town.

I've been following Emma's athletic journey and am so happy that she came on top in an event dominated by the East Africans. She is a beautiful soul and I empathize with all of her emotions, me being an ex athlete myself. Crested Butte is a beautiful place and I hope someday I can visit and breathe that crisp Coloradian air and more importantly meet the sweet Ms Coburn. Go girl! Get that Olympic gold! Blessings!
Great video. Cannot even imagine how proud her father must be.
Accomplished, amazing, style, grace and completes the event like the BOSS she is
Great story, great person. Fantastically shot. Very inspiring.
love your super energy. you inspired me to keep running everyday. you're a beautiful runner too
14:13 What a kick omg
That's what I call "digging deep." Amazing!
One of my hero's in the sport of running!!
Oh my Gosh! I was crying long before Emma started.
This is awesome! She was in such great shape! Just look at her muscles; well formed and beautiful!
I'll celebrate her struggle and victory rather than embrace, encourage and take a knee for mediocrity. A return to the quest for excellence. How refreshing.
Beautiful person ...
support all the way from 🇸🇬. good luck on your getting the gold in tokyo..
She's an absolute inspiration! Incredible!
The video of her sister watching Emma win the World Champs gets me every time. It shows that is not just about the athlete but the family, the teammates, the coach and the community. Beautiful video.
Your Beautiful when you cry, it shows how much you care for something. God Speed on finding a cure for cancer and Love from Canada for making a difference
I always wondered why first my 29 years old daughter 🏃♀️ and then me 🏃🏽♂️ started running until I watched this. 🙏🏼 Emma 🙇🏻♂️ from a small town in 🇨🇭

This is such a cool documentary. I love the mountain views while running. I live in oregon about 50 miles from Track Town USA. We have a lot of beautiful views and I moved to a town of 1200 and I absolutely love running now. I'm sad it took me till 22 to figure out how much I love it.
Greetings from Germany, Emma! You are awesome, I love Colorado and your town is so wonderful, I would love to run there, 😀 maybe one day. 👍👋

Just found this video, love it! Emma's a beast
brought tears to my eyes. happy for her. such a down to earth great human being
What a great story! I've watched Emma since she started college. She is definitely an outstanding runner... and person.
Beautifully filmed. Well done.
The hard work paid off. One thing!!! Remember to have fun. It's all about the fun and don't forget it. Children always have fun running around. Merry Christmas
Crested Bute is one of my favorite places in the world. I hope to visit and maybe move there one day. Thank you for highlighting your town so well. And a huge thanks for being such an inspirational figure and example to all.
A very special person. Thanks for shearing.
What a great story! All the hard work paid off!
Beautiful town.
Hope to visit again.
Wow she is incredible in every possible way.
Wow !!! I'm completely blown away Emma run for the Stars so proud
Great to learn about Emma!!! ......thank you for this and thank you Emma! Congrats
6:44 I thought it was Emma crying of joy for a second then bursted laughing when I saw the chicken
Great video. Love Emma's story. Crested Butte is a special place.
Beautiful story. Looking forward to more of your videos!
I got goosebumps watching this.
definitely teared up
To be driven and selfless, is the rarest of accomplishments. What a wonderful person.
My new favorite athlete
Thanks for sharing. Great video.
Awe the part where she cried 🤍
Go Emma!! Such a beautiful story.
Beautiful lady inside and out. Great community...why America cannot be more like it. Great people.
Beautiful, inspiring, impressive....thanks. We need stories about people like Emma now more than ever.

You Are Amazing Emma !!!
Besides innate talent, you have to have discovered a passionate love for running to get to her level.
This company makes some of the most professionally produced, yet still GENUINE, mini-sports documentaries I've ever seen. You would never know these are essentially paid, sponsor films because they don't really spend time hyping/pushing their product on camera... or like some companies, make their athletes read cringie scripts gushing about the advertiser. Heck, did they even show their product in this Emma Coburn film? In the 2-part OAC docu they briefly show it being used, but there's no dialog or discussion. Just shows athletes going about their daily routines & briefly using this unusual massage/muscle roller thingy I'd never seen before. It's all very understated & elegant, but the strategy works. It got me curious. Who/what is ROLL Recovery? What do they make? Is the product effective? So I went digging... ended up buying an R8 Plus since my calves, quads, and IT-band are always sore & stiff following my long runs.
She is a phenomenal runner. I would say she's a machine, but her grace and fluidity render her too smooth. When you watch her run there is little if any wasted motion or movement. When she kicks, it's like a benediction from above. Absolutely love her brilliance. The fact she's an incredible human being is the lake of icing.
So beautiful! Strength grace and beauty!
Amazing story thanks for posting.
Emma is a one in 7.4 billion - Selfless and a Blessing to all. She inspires me to be more outside of myself.
WOW this is so powerful!
This is a beautiful story.
why am I crying watching this 😭❤️ so beautiful
