One of my favorite races ever. So incredible to see Frerichs believe in herself and go for broke
jack smith Er... what?
SIXTEEN SECONDS faster than her previous lifetime best! Absolutely staggering achievement.
@@blahblah121212 that was an incredible race for Coburn and Frerichs, but Frerichs improving 16 seconds at her level is astonishing. You could spend your entire career just getting 8-10s (at most), but for her to do that is almost unbelievable in a championship race...just wow.
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.
Frerichs move in the final back stretch made the race what it was.
Courtney expression of shock is priceless. She is in disbelieve and crying in happiness. Glad for both Americans.
Great interview with her afterward on youtube. She's a delight.
I will never forget this moment, it as so incredible witnessing her performance and reaction
I cry every time I watch this. Every. Single. Time.
Frierich won a silver medal in Toyko!
Shout out to Freirichs for running an incredible race. They talk about how incredible it was for Emma to win (which it was) but she did get the bronze medal in the Olympics the previous year while Courtney wasn't even close to the podium! What a champ!
And she took 16 seconds off her pr, too!!! 16 seconds is a CRAZY number
And a 16 secongbPR!
Bethany Mclean, really? Freirichs won the NCAA title in 2016, she was not preparing for the Olympics like Emma and the rest.
Freirichs, in the end, defined this race.
I've only watched this race about 50 times, and I still get chills watching that last 120 meters. The emotion in the announcer's voice really adds to the viewing experience.
Mate look at u we know why you watched it 50 times
@@someonenotnotsomeone190 Well, there's that, too!
Far more than fifty here, but its brilliant every time I see it.
I enjoy watching the last two laps, seeing them drop the African runners one by one. It is absolutely shocking. We've been watching African runners drop the field for decades and here the tables were turned.
Best commentator
I wonder when Coburn knew she was going to try to edge inside at the turn to the water jump and then pull away coming out of the water like that. It was freaking brilliant racing!
I don't know when she knew, but if you watch the video of her sister watching the race some guy in the background goes, "they're gonna go wide and she's gonna take the inside. we practiced this" so apparently she'd been preparing for literally that specific moment probably for months.
@@utahstock12 Oh yeah, thanks, I went and watched that on one of her running buddy's IG. It was a great video of her sister going crazy watching it happen on TV. Wonder if Frerichs moving out wider was a part of the tactic...
utahstock12 That sounds like something I’d like to see. Can you point me at it please?
Craig B Brilliant! Thank you!
@Craig B ty. that was emotionnal
13:20 "they took it all the way... they didn't give a f... an inch" hahaha
I heard that, too! Hilarious!
I was wondering if anyone else would notice it! Could you imagine if he had said it? That would have become a classic!
Bowerman coming for all the records!
Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-bie...
I was waiting to find a comment mentioning this.
They keep talking about coburn but the other girl ran a great race as well holding off the kenyan for 2nd was quite an achievement as well both ran great races
Correct
This is one of the greatest races ever that final water jump was amazing!
Watch the womens marathon 2015
The final minutes are insane
This is the best race I have ever seen in my life.
Still makes my eyes water
cyoungrun1 I was exaggerating definitely and I’m almost 16 years old
2008 Beijing Olympics 4x100 mens freestyle swimming...stunner!
Uhh im guessing you don't watch running often
@@billyboblillybob344 womens marathon 2025 Beijing better
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.
Simply outsmarted. The move by Frerichs at 10:45 made it happen.
So true. Frerichs ignited the win for the beautiful Americans.
i d agree
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!
I don’t ordinarily watch the women’s 3000m #steeplechase but when I do.... It has to have Emma Coburn in it!
She is absolutely phenomenal!
Emma is absolutely phenomenal...
Frerichs brought a tear to my eye. Wat a woman that Emma is. Wow.
Courtney's face at the finish is life. One of the finest races ever!
I love when Coburn makes that deft inside move just before the last water jump to set up her surge to the front and onto the finish line.
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!
Correct flexibility power and technique
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.
@Desecration lol touchy aren't you. I never made any claims of knowing anything. I just noticed the difference in style then made a presumption of how that might affect their running. Do you cry yourself to bed every night...jeez
@@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
FAKE@Glenn Beck - {BTW - the poster above is not the real Glenn Beck - who has his own verified youtube account - this troll might be trying to discredit the real Glenn Beck by making racist posts like the above under his name - i'm going to delete my responding posts below - it just helps him to taint Beck)
what is despicable is your attempt to malign the africans - (1) Jepkemoi did reach out to the Americans when she crossed the finish - THEY IGNORED HER - and all the early african finishers - (2) we didn't see ALL the [white] others congratulate each other - that your irresponsible assumption - (3) their culture may preclude extravagant behavior - but you would choose to demean them for that - (4) it's such a petty complaint that it insults those of us who are more interested in the sport - and aren't the least bit bothered by the Kenyans
This race was just dripping with talent top to bottom.
A dreamlike performance for Emma and Courtney. Theilling to watch.
The steeplechase is one of the most interesting races in track. Congratulations to the Americans.
Gulnara Galkina - Samitova is the First Woman in the History of Athletics to run the 3000m steeplechase in nine (9) minutes. (8:58.81).
I was stunned by this race. It will be reviewed by runners for decades. Wow!
Watch the final moments of the Womens marathon 2015 beijng
I’m a big Kenya 🇰🇪 supporter, this was hard for me to watch. Proud moment to see my Jamaican 🇯🇲 Aisha Praught in this race.
Was it a surprise (not just to any Americans watching too!) to see not one but TWO Americans holding their own with about 800m to go, and then going 1-2 at the finish? I ask legitimately as, when I watched the first time and several more since, I was stunned into disbelief at the result of this race!
I get goosebumps when I watch that final lap!
I remember back when this was happening Aric Van Halen and some of Emma's family and friends were watching this on TV. When Emma and Cortney passed them all at the finish, they all went nuts. Aric got it all on his phone. A very fun video!!
Congrats again my U.S. ladies, I keep coming back to see this race over and over again.
See too how Emma is no where near as gassed as even Courtney. Emma pulls Courtney up off the track. And then is there to congratulate another competitor @12:22 or so.
Magnificent.
Colorado proud. Go Emma. So awesome to re-watch in 2020.
Amazing athleticism for all the runners! I ran many years ago (over 40) and I can completely relate to collapsing at the end of the race. You have spent every bit of energy at the finish, but you quickly recover (meaning you budgeted you energy just right). Great run for Freirichs.
magnificent job ladies and kudos to the woman that messed up for getting back up with the leaders. My pick to win it 2019 worlds.
Chepkoech did win in 2019 and broke the championship record. Coburn took second with a new personal best time.
that step at 11:17 by Frerichs which allowed her to take that inside of turn was a brilliant bit of racing as well
It gives me chills every time
Watch the final moments of the womens marathon 2015 bejing
Wow! This is the first time I’ve ever seen this race and I am amazed
One of the greatest races I ever seen!
A stellar moment in track and field history.
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.
This still brings me to tears when I watch it. Sheer joy and shock coming from supreme training and effort. Awesome!!
What an incredible, incredible race! Never paid much attention to steeplechase but I will now.
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.
Emma Coburn. i have been a fan since Rio
Absolutely beautiful. What a comeback!
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.
Truly wonderful to see! Two beautiful women on the first two places!!
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.
Phenomenal job by Coburn! She's is a beautiful specimen!
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?
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.
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.
.
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 .
USA goes 1-2.. WOW.. That was a great race!
For the first medals 1 and 2nd is impressive to say the least. Good job ladies
Impressive win!! Congrats to the 2 awesome brave ladies!
Wow! That was a great race.
Announcer: “They’re crying because they can’t believe it.” Meanwhile, Coburn is walking around, calmly and confidently congratulating the other runners.
Frerichs was crying - she was like WE PULLED THIS OFF -- the look on her face is priceless
As always Coburn is incredible. Frerich to pull a -16 second improvement is astonishing especially at her stage in her career. She would of probably got a little bit of a better time if she did not raise her hands up before the tape though. That's like trying to break a 4:15 mile for four years (yeah..I admit it..and then suddenly running a 3:59:69 and taking second...fast people made me faster).
What a beautiful sight to watch Emma laying it down on that home stretch. She's so awesome, just love watching her race.
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.
Fantastic!! Emma & Frederichs!! Superb
This 3000S Final is an evidence that there are no substantial differences between blacks and whites; only passion, hard trainning, sacrifice and faith. 2 white and blonde women defeating the African women. Awesome and exciting final. Congratulations to Emma Coburn, Courtney Frerichs and Hyvin K. Jepkemoi 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Emma Coburn!!! : O Wow!
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
Brilliant race from Emma Coburn, fabulous last water jump, that created the gap for her to sprint home , nice to see the Kenyan grip on Mid distance races broken
Def team effort. The grouping was the undoing of the leader. It was like a nascar race.
Coburn was superb but Frerichs was EXTRAORDINARY.
greatest race ever!!!!!
Wow. Look at all the excitement, out of sight of the camera.
Vaya despiste de Beatriz que le costó la medalla.Se resarcido más tarde batiendo el récord del mundo por ocho segundos
LOL!! That was awesome!!!🏅🥈
One of the hardest races on the track. This shit hurts
wow what an amazing race
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.
@@cobramanphil Yeah, Coburn gained a good ten feet over Chepkoech on that last water hurdle alone. Then was already in running motion to accelerate well Chep had to start back up from a near standstill. There isn't a reason that the others can't practice it a little and not literally put on the brakes every time a hurdle needs to be cleared.
@@cobramanphil Precisely, being able to directly hurdle the obstacle versus planting a foot on and jumping over it conserves so much energy.
Emma such a beautiful barbie and a great athlete 🔥❤🔥
Coburn didn't even look tired.
This was her once in a lifetime moment
what are they feeding this girl, she looks like she can go another lap haha
As someone who is new to watching runs, I did not see that coming at the end.
I feel so sorry for Beatrice here getting 4th again. But she went super saiyan after this! 🔥🔥
4:05 the miss
Courtney Frerichs: Stick on teammate Emma Coburn and something special might happen...And it did! Well done.
I'm just watching to see Emma's smile.... Oh, she won too?
Go Emma!
This is the kind of story that you think only happens in Hollywood
Wow! Congrats to the 2 Americans beating the mighty Kenyans!!!
2019 is here we'll see about that The Kenyan is still going strong by the way
Are you jealous your kenyans got their asses kicked by 2 americans coburn is legit
@@betsysindani3171 you literally make no sense. They won since the Kenyans kept making poor mistakes while running. They pushed themselves to win and did so. Give credit when its due weirdo
@@betsysindani3171 We know the Kenyans dope too!
@@zabaleta66 unfortunately everyone takes test, however genetics plays a huge role in endurance which the Kenyans have. They lost this race due to poor hurdle techniques. However, the two Americans had top-notch training and technique.
このレースはとっても印象深いなぁ。
I feel a bit bad for chepkoech missing the vault, then again not too bad, I mean this is an Olympic final you need to have your head in the game.
Is it.
Amazing job Emma!!! Did not know the outcome but was pulling all the way.
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.
Go USA - those girls said #ThisIsOurHouse -- whoohoooooooo USA. Yes Frerichs and Coburn
Best race one off the bests ever love that Americans girls won
well done
Those are some badass women 👏
There were two American girls here and they became 1st and 2nd place😃😃😃 Congratulation👏👏👏
That runner from the USA Emma Coburn has got a rather great pair of legs.
That wasn't my comment. My brother Andrew must have posted this comment.
Watch Emma @8:48. Her her head tilt, lolls side-to-side. Just rocks and rolls, while all the other in this lead group are stiffer, if not super stiff. Very little wasted energy.
Frerichs beat her personal best by 16 second? Holy moly.
The Americans technique over the hurdles was so much better than any of the others that I guess that they were probably saving 1% or 2% of their energy at every hurdle - no wonder that that they did so well
Omg they are very strong 💪
USA 🇺🇸!

That's the trouble with "breaking away", things can get missed. Imagine, breaking away in a boxing match. or even a soccer game. and missing an important development.
