I was rooting for Keagan to come back all the way, but Kyleigh deserves congratulations for hanging on.

That little blond girl ran extra distance the whole race in lane two. She looked so much more fluid than any of the others. What a bright future once she learns to race.

[@NelsonJ1]

She didn't look fluid at all, looked like she was working hard the whole time...

[@jeffwing8083]

Well of course she was working hard. Fluid as in running smooth with a nice consistent cadence. You can run smooth and still be working hard.

[@NelsonJ1]

@@jeffwing8083 He definitely wasn't more fluid than the others. You know nothing about running. She was pumping and visibly working hard. Fluid running looks effortless. Go watch Athing run if you want to learn what a fluid runner looks like. Let me guess, you're white...

[@tagodard]

@@jeffwing8083Yes, she ran a fantastic race. Came back from 4th place I believe. She has a great steady Kick too.

[@l3gendarylag805]

If she gets praise why doesn't the winner who obviously ran a better race

[@tonydiaz2541]

2nd place was running in lane 2 almost the entire race!

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

The girl who won is well coached to lean like that. Gold is the reward.

[@Kenken-bk3ls]

Congratulations Kyleigh

[@LoamReaper]

The lean!

[@mikeyKnows_]

That little white girl is a beast!!

[@kobbieafriyie2172]

she is-----I like her running style too------very relaxed

[@arathgomez172]

Blond girl should stay in lane 1 until she needs to pass. Running a bit too much extra distance. But she’s 8, she has more than enough time to learn. 😂

[@afro1327]

Future legends 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@dre3951]

These are all amazing times for 8-y-o girls. Great to see. Would surely beat most high schoolers not on the track team.

[@adiuku-brown]

I don't think most high schoolers will even be capable of completing the race, let alone the timings lol Well done to them all

[@readegloeckner6532]

More kids need this type of exercise

[@billyboyd1199]

Amazing! bright future

[@glenmoepi9635]

The cute blondie... won my heart.

[@tyronesmith6112]

Great job ladies

[@TellingTrueStories]

Amazing!

[@EHB4323]

It makes me so happy to know that there are very special children out there that will be our future leaders!!

[@valmirvalles40]

Maravilhoso❤❤❤

[@ronniematrix89]

Wonderful 👍

[@peggyclio1199]

At what age they can compete? At 8 years old ...aren't they too young for an international race? 😮

[@chukwuebukaoguejiofor35]

The white girl was running in the second lane.if she was in that first lane she would have come first.

[@EHB4323]

Yeah I was actually rooting for the white girl too because she had increased her speed near the end, but we must also praise the little Black girl for winning the race. "Both" of them were sensational!!!

[@Flashbolt_The_Bolt731]

She didn’t lean that’s why she didn’t win
