Super gutsy run. It was awesome to see Elle push the pace and really make it an honest race. Great kick to the finish line. I’m stoked to see what she can do in Paris with fresh legs!
She is amazing...a real woman for whom I have the utmost respect. Does her decision to drop out of the 5,000 leave the door open for Parker Valby to qualify now in the 5,000 since she was 4th and under the standard?
Parker made the U.S. 10,000 meter team. I hope the International Olympic committee accepts her. If so, there’s no way she should attempt to double in both the 5,000 and 10,000. First off, racing all the heats would be too much racing. Secondly, this time in history has the most supremely talented women distance runners ever. Parker would have to run the best race of her life - repeatedly - just to make it through the semi-finals. In the 5K she has no chance of even finishing within a half lap of the winner.
@@repsaknivek this is all probably true but her first time at the olympics is going to be mostly for the experience, but it does give her options and opens it up to what she wants to do. She is ranked 21st in the world rankings before the trials race, which will only increase her stock as a top ranked 10k runner. Personally I think she has a much better chance in the 10 to perform well and progress as a runner but I am just excited to see my wife run in the olympics :)))!!!
@@repsaknivek Don't tell that to Lasse Viren who not only doubled but did twice with 4 golds. As a guy who barely met the Olympic qualifying time in the 5000M once myself, I realized that my PR would still be a half a lap down which is humbling. Broke my foot and didn't have to find out. Parker is amazing and I know she was second in the 10K, but hasn't met the standard but still might compete (I don't get how it works). But she has met the 5k standard and could be selected since she was 4th??.
There's a chance to make the final and get a podium in the 1500. There is no possibility of medaling in the 5000 with the Ethiopians, Kenyans and a few other countries where at least 10 runners are 14:25 or better and 3 under 14:10.
@@SW-nx4jz In the 1500 the USA Olympic Trials 1500 team is ranked 8th, 11th and 13th. But 5 women in the top 7 are from Ethiopa which brings the women to 6th, 9th and 11th. But 3rd best is 3:53. There is no beating the top 2 if they choose this race instead of the 5000 meters which overlap. Siffan Hissan tried this in the last world championship. The Women's 5K team is 16th, 30th and 48th. If Alicia Monson was not injured she had a possibility being ranked 8th. The top 4 are 30+ seconds better than St. Pierre and over 40 seconds better than Cranny and Schweitzer. This is why St. Pierre is only running the 1500 and Valby can replace her as she has the Olympic standard. There are 3 other USA women that have a faster time than Valby but she smoked them at the Trials. It should be fun to watch. What is weird is the USA women fair better in the 10K..
Yes. She also has the Olympic qualifying standard in the 5k, so she's in. Exciting for her, exciting for US distance running for her to get the experience.
@@davidzuk4894 I like Katelyn Touhy, she seems like quite a nice person but some of her fans are idiots. Maybe they'll shut up now. It's been evident for some time that Valby is on another level, and still they'd be yapping about what Touhy was going to do, even when she was injured, even when her PBs didn't warrant such claims. I wish her all the best, but dang. Some of the conversations on these videos make me wonder if running fans are the dumbest of all sports fanbases.
@@synchronium24 Valby doesn't have the qualifying standard for the 10k. She does for the 5k. She may get into the 10k based upon rankings. Hopefully she does because she's going to be better (relative to the rest of the world) in the 10k.
@@synchronium24Racing heats for the 5K and heats for the 10K is way too much racing - especially against Sifan Hassan and the Africans. It would be nuts against those women.
@@S0ulinth3machin3Agreed. The top six African runners (including Sifan Hassan) all run from 45 seconds to nearly a minute faster than Parker in the 5K. Parker could run the best race of her life and still lose by half a lap. It would be demoralizing.
Elle was nearly pushed off track by guess who in 2021 trials. I love that Elle is a fierce lady. Doesn't seem like she congratulated Hiltz either, which is awesome to me as an old school guy that loves tough competition.
Ever run in the pack of a distance race? There's a lot of pushing and shoving going on out there, you have to make room for yourself. If there was a violation the officials will call it, otherwise it's just racing.
I am paying far less attention to the absolute times achieved in athletics history, especially before 2010, and more attention simply to times relative to contemporary athletes. The competitions are the most important consideration.
It depends where the athlete feels more comfortable too. Not always just about their ranking. If she's enjoys the 1500 more, then you can't knock her for doing it.
Everyone pretends the shoes are one of the biggest factors in all the new world records, but truth it the shoes and track surfaces are the biggest factor in all the new world records. Every distance even has had the world record broken or someone has gotten very close to breaking it and so very many different athletes are all running very very fast. When every second counts having shoes that give you multiple free seconds means everything.
I am so thrilled for St Pierre! And also for Valby Parker!
I'm thrilled for Parker Valby myself. Don't know this other upstart you are referring to.
@@chrisallen2005I ordered my glasses from Valby Parker.

Parker Valby is now qualified to be on the 5K team with the withdrawal of ESP. She is the next up with a qualified time.
@@jamesa5720 She won't be as juiced as Viren.
She's my favorite. I hope she bests Ernie next time
St Pierre is super strong and really fun to watch. Best of luck in Paris!!
It looked like she left some on the table. I think she can win gold in Paris.
There’s the mighty East Africans , u can forget about the gold
Nope, that's probably true in the 5k and 10k but in the 1500 it'll be close. All 3 Americans in the top 10 times for the year after trials..
She was the real star of the race. Everyone else sat behind

Yes. She also has the Olympic qualifying standard in the 5k, so she's in. Exciting for her, exciting for US distance running for her to get the experience.
