USA's Elly Henes Runs  

same here. Personal Best for Elly. She is still improving

Wonderful to see Elly Henes continuing her career, and improving so much. World Athletics records her as 2nd fastest in the U.S. at 5k for this year.

I think Coach Henes is doing a good job with her star talent, and I am looking forward to how she guides Tuohy in her junior and senior years.This year (2022) Kate has (as of September 10) the NCAA best times for the year at 1500 (4:06) and 5000 (15:14, which would have gotten 4th in this race.) Will they push to go sub-4:00 and sub-15:00, or just run and see where it goes? My bet is that Tuohy can continue to improve and possibly break Jenny Barringer Simpson's long-standing NCAA records. But, I think the key is to pace yourself and not to get greedy.

As the season cools, expect to see the times drop further.

@@Philobiblion My feeling is Tuohy is capable of that right now. She's absolutely slaughtering the cross country fields this year and hardly gassed at the finishes

Especially for a women. As a male I rarely find the need to spit when I run. But it probably has to do with keeping my mouth clean before I go running.

Henes was second and it was a PR.

It would have been nice if he could have pronounced her name correctly! And that aside, why wasn't he able to learn about some of the other runners besides the winner? Seems he's German, and was just bent out of shape that one of the few elite level German distance runners(Klosterhoefen) wasn't there for a major race in her home country.

way to ruin the race coco!

@@goodboy0054 why read the comments before watching the race? Elly Rocks, but the race was not even close.

Completely ruined by a commentator who sounds like he's an ex-runner that was forced to do it by telephone, from a hospital bed, having lost both legs in a bizarre gardening accident.

God bless the USA brother! Love that southern pride! Keep waving that flag because that history needs to be preserved! Hoorah

@@waynerooney6023 yes sir! I take a lot of gaf for that flag and I'm not even from the south but I lived there for a couple years and I know the people; they are proud of their heritage. History is a part of all of us and it does need to be preserved. It's not a symbol of hate that the globalized crowd want to make it.

Felicidades

Thats the myth but not the reason. 3 big reasons are there and a 4 for the time since 90s 1) professional english coaches started to implement high level training schedules and cast athletes 2) permanent high altitude training (thats why only a small part of Kenya is responsible for all the athletes 3) poverty This for most is the only chance out of poverty that includes coaches..etc Thats were your runnning to school comes into play. Thats why selection at youth level is so brutal and training load that a lot of athletes are left permanently injured and some make it to elite level 4) As it has been now revealed Kenya has systematic EPO doping everywhere . You get it in every pharmacy and sometimes when tests are to be done its comical how athletes react. Kenya is one of the few countries were near all are on PED regimes. No one wants to talk about it but thats the case. Still I have tremendous respecr for the athletes. Their training load is unreal and still difficult to handle

@@listrahtes agree. Re: #4, most people are on PEDs. If not EPO or other blood doping methods, they’re at least in testosterone and some other stuff

Brother Colm O'Connell, a missionary from County Limerick, Ireland , known as the Godfather of Kenyan running , was the coach who kick started the Kenyan running tradition.

@@listrahtes . What about the great Kipchoge?

Caught me by surprise!

Looking to score? I mean score a victory against the other women.

World Athletics implemented rules requiring women who were born intersex like Semenya to reduce their natural testosterone levels with testosterone suppressants in order to compete in the 400m, 800m and 1500m events. Semenya won't take the drugs, so she can no longer compete in the 800m event she used to be so dominant in and decided to switch to competing in the 5000 which does not have a testosterone suppressant requirement. She competed in the 5000m at the recent World Championships and didn't do so well there either.

On the other hand Nyonsaba seems to be doing well.

That's now her shortest event.

😂

Part of the problem of Brit commentary (and this is bias, I admit) is there is a prejudice in British broadcasting for the posh pronunciation, as well as, not just the manner of speaking, and by that I mean the natural language of the speaker, but their choice of the subject of their commentary.) 'She's brilliant, isn't she?' Well, maybe she isn't brilliant. Why don't you just say 'she's brilliant.? It's really a form of small talk that has been, if not enforced, strongly suggested as a style of Brit broadcasting identity, or marque. I find it very annoying, as a 74 year old university library administrator who is devoted to scrutinizing how other English speakers around the world approach the problem of making meaning, and the accompanying nuances of language crystal clear to their auditors. That's what sports announcing is all about. In USA track, that's why Norm Ogilvie is the best of the best.

Lol Why/ when did he?!

Chebet in 14:44

That’s why you watch the race

@@ccbgaming6994 Not with THAT commentator you don't!

It was a PR for Elly. 127k views shows it was a good choice. (Elly has a fan base.)

I'm also time traveling; reading your Jan 2024 comment in Feb 2023.

and now back to your porn site.

in events longer than a mile (or shorter than a 400)

Lol !!

Quite a wonderful. and I am sure, a heartfelt comment. My suggestion, to tweek the formula, is cut the weed in half with some cigarette tobacco, and try a glass or two of good cab or cabernet sauvignon to get rid of the guys trying to climb in your windows, before commenting. I say this as a 74 year-old literature major who knows how many beans make five.

Since you mentioned her, World Athletics is a travesty for making Caster Semenya compete at longer distances where she's not competitive. Just because they think her masculine appearance makes it look bad if she wins a race. It wasn't her fault she was born with a rare genetic condition that made her develop more muscle and therefore look more masculine than other girls. Instead of making it all about T levels, so that males can decide to reduce their male hormone levels to compete as female. All this while Semenya and a few other naturally female athletes who appear close to the borderline, get harassed on at least an annual basis to prove their gender.

@@righttoleft7936 You made good points. She should take them to court

He sure did!

Yes, because she didn't ask to be born the way she is. While there are young men who "decide" they are female, and then want to compete against girls after having an operation or two. Caster Semenya was just born the way she is, and is doing her best. And she ends up being harassed by officials demanding tests or demanding that she subject herself to hormone lowering drugs while guys are doing sex changes to compete as females.

She was born intersex not by choice and was assigned female, wont go into details, but its not a choice for her, we could have different categories for all power events based on naturally occuring hormone levels, and maybe height too, i think Usain Bolt had unfair advantage being so tall 🙂 Do you think this would happen to any US athletes or Uk for that matter,

actually Aleia Hobbs looks very similar

@@jennysmith8835-Yawn. The athlete in question is male for all intents and purposes. Not attacking anyone but it is a sideshow. There is a reason there is a ban in place for distances 1500m and below. Now it has to be extended. And the attempt to equate a categorical biological difference (male vs. female) with athletes being taller, etc. is just plain silly and tedious.

@@icarus8471 perhaps you need to stretch your brain a little more, I was being facetious regarding Usain Bolt, but the majority of people do have a fixed idea of what constitutes an acceptable female form, Florence GJ was as powerfully developed and more muscular and " manly" than CS, but offset by her glam outfits, hair, nails, etc. Caster was born with female genitalia with internal gonads, she had to be assigned sex at birth, intersex at birth isn't that rare, and by the way if you are feeling tired then perhaps go to 😴,

@@jennysmith8835 if we are being unfair to a group we should be unfair to the smallest group or intersex people. they should not be allowed to compete with girls.

He says he's a woman.

Men shouldn't be allowed to compete in women only sports regardless of surgical procedures taken to change their sex. Its not the women's fault that some men were (or feel like they were) born "in the wrong body."

Yep. Apparently, the male got booted from his 800m specialty events and now competes in longer distances were he doesn't do as well.

Is that goo in your cranium porridge?

Have a bit of respect, thing.

I bet she has enough money to buy you and your bitter life!

Keep quiet...

Yes, its true.

Fast running animals. But ok.

If you're referring to Semenya, she's not a trans woman, she's an _intersex_ woman, naturally born with different chromosomes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_Semenya

you don't even know about biology ... got back to science class bruh.

Yeah, technically a female. I believe she was banned from 400-1500m events due to testosterone levels? And that’s why she’s running this event. Don’t quote me on that tho lol

@@jboww2121 XY

@@briseboy Semenya is an intersex woman, with 5α-Reductase 2 deficiency, assigned female at birth, with XY chromosomes and naturally elevated testosterone levels caused by the presence of internal testes. the key word is "NATURAL" bozo. Just like to punish people who having special gifts. If she looked more feminime you could cheer for her .

@@jboww2121 People love the ban and exclude people they don't understand ....

Semenya gave it her best shot!

As i said before, ignorant people should not be allowed to comment. That debate has been settled and science and the federation exacted rules. Whether it pleases you or not. Changing Sex is possible, removing stupidity is not, unfortunately for you.
