you guys are nuts. They do NOT speak on their rivalry

[@jimalford6359]

These young ladies are So impressive, calm and humble. Love watching you ladies

[@paulbuchanan9914]

I'm a huge fan of all three of these ladies. Keep kicking A$$ Pushing the "limits" and undeniably making history.

[@urrywest]

Exactly the kinds of comments I would expect... Ready to go, trained, exited...

[@hottcocoaunt07]

Their mindsets are top tier. They were just ready to get out there and get it done no matter what the circumstance. Inspiring!

[@rodbrown8306]

Loved your race Parker, it was epic!

[@bustarogers9990]

I hope they keep these interviews to an absolute minimum, these reporters aren't bad but most of them ask such stupid questions and in other sports it's labor intensive to watch so i can't imagine what it's like for the athletes.

[@letstalk3265]

Here is another example of wonderful women in every way. Talented, humble, gracious, supportive, excited, nervous, positive, real. They are representative of all the women running. Their families and friends will be proud for all they do to make our world full of hope for the future. Building it up not trying to tear it down. Every effort to be the best you can be, individually and for humanity. Fills the heart and soul with hope and joy. God Bless.

[@commanderthorkilj.amundsen3426]

They do exemplify admirable qualities. But they are few, and are runners, doing what runners do. Unfortunately, a majority of their fellow collegians do not conduct their lives this way. Hearing Heather MacDonald speak on the destructive Identity Politics controlling campuses, and seeing firsthand what an angry mob of students is capable of, does not inspire positivity.

[@thanomsacksoumpholphakdy7896]

Good luck all, looking forward to seeing the race.

NICE ONE KATELYN " JUST RUN"!!! DON'T BOTHER TO THINK OTHER COMPETITORS WIN OR LOSS "!! I KNOW THIS KATELYN" A POSITIVE THINKER"!! & TEAM RUNNER THAT'S WHY SHE"S MY IDOL WIN OR LOSS"

[@adamjordan4316]

Spot on!!

[@musicandmoviefan9217]

these three girls should be on our Olympic team for sure.

[@stuartwalker6786]

What was up with Tuohy when the reporter asked Parker about putting muscle on and looking stronger?

[@Robertjames525]

It was a disrespectful question ya fool!

[@stuartwalker5916]

@@Robertjames525 probably as disrespectful as this answer, I unfortunately don't understand the significance of the question (being based outside of the US , I'm not aware of Valby and her background in relation to WHY that question would spark such a reaction from Tuohy) ...but thanks for the disrespectful lack of explanation reply ... This fool will contemplate his foolish ways on his foolishly inadequate run today 👍

[@americanpatriot6574]

Women don’t like men commenting on their physique in live interviews. Weight and muscle are very sensitive topics for female distance runners, who feel lots of pressure to be thin in order to run well. I think Katelyn was trying to show that the question was inappropriate to help Valby feel validated if she was rattled by it. I think she didn’t want to be overt about it, so she was as subtle in her reaction as she could be without causing a big scene.

[@jaimim3675]

@@americanpatriot6574 thanks for the gracious answer. I too was wondering as it seemed more like a compliment & getting her to talk more about her training for youth watching over zoom, but that does make sense.

[@Regnisab]

Answer, "We are extraordinary athletes, that prepare insencently, that can run better than anyone of you could ever imagine, so I understand how you ask questions we don't worry about".

[@talkshitko9234]

I think Parker wil end up running 5/10,000 m , and Kaitlyn will run 1500/5,000 in the future as PROs

[@naomigrace7538]

Way to go KT!! Hills pay the bills

[@inoname99]

Katelyn and team, Again Congratulation. > The questions are akward, just show me the course and get out of my way! One detail Katelyn and coach I think the DNA of Katelyn should be look at. She has evolved beyond human expection. Katelyn don't take it too seriously, you are at another level. Good Luck Everyone...

[@hieronymusbosch6255]

That ranks in the top three for awkward, boring and useless interviews I have ever watched.

[@mikewalker7385]

I think Katelyn is going to win while breaking the course record. 🤨🤨😏😏😎😎

[@viktorsokolovsky6539]

почему в начале речи девчонки начинают с Ам (am)? Что это значит?

[@Tigerex966]

You forgot about the other accomplshed champion ncaa runner in the thumbnail 😮?❤😊

[@deviljames]

my money was on mercy i even sent her & her team some stickers god-bless her... i hear her brother from her country is a great support unit for her

[@deviljames]

all 3 of these ladies are such a inspiration... and although i did get yelled at for betting money agian i never had to take the betting addiction class they asked me to do because i just quit telling everyone... ha ha...er? i mean? all accept that good-ol Charlie from the film-barn but that's only because he can keep a secret & he likes to bet too

[@lilyjazzification]

With the amount of middle distance runners coming out and admitting they’ve struggled with eating disorders.. please male journalists refrain from bringing up the appearance of female runners. I’m not a massive fan of Katelyns public persona usually.. but love her response to the question aimed at Parker here.

[@AN-cy7xm]

"For every uphill there's a downhill" PVs full of silly sayings. One time she was interviewed at a track event before her race and the interviewer was asking silly questions and Parker said "Dude, we're just running around in circles, it's not that serious."

[@americanpatriot6574]

You shouldn’t interview them together right before the race. That puts pressure on them and then they feel like they have to look tough infront of each other. Also it made the others ladies feel bad when Katelyn got so many extra questions. This was just awkward!

[@isaiahlrice]

Mercy is a very kind lady, obviously. Katelyn seems incredibly humble. Parker came across as vapid, unfortunately. In her post match interviews, she comes across very well. This was a bit of a disappointment for those looking for some insight.

[@tayearoonie]

parker is so beautiful

[@frankvaiden3891]

This could be hilarious. The girls are stiff and straight, loosen up as they comment on questions that seem to have been made up on the fly between interviews by these guys (and possibly a lady or two?). If I had to rely on these girls for future reference as to how we are all to live, too much starch was used in their jackets. And, I love them all! They are ridiculously talented and hungry for a win! KT, though, is still my favorite, and it is her performances that have garnered so much attention to this sport. Go KT!

[@pglover64]

What rivalry? For there to be a rivalry Parker would actually have to beat Katelyn and that has not happened.

[@strahan321]

it has now!

[@diegoscoffin7491]

Oops…

[@deviljames]

have i lost my mind or what?? First they replace my Mercy with Elise Stearns .... and then they put her back?? what o gods green earth is going on here? is this the matrix or what?
