    Amazing! I was so invested in this run! Congratulations Abbey Cooper!

    The Olympics is a joke as long as they have men and women competing against each other.

    Ask Coke how going won’t has been working out.



  4. Go D on June 27, 2021 at 7:42 pm

    How dare she !!!! Where are the men to pose as women and take all the gold



  5. Darin Gregory on June 27, 2021 at 7:43 pm

    Hopefully a biological man posing as a woman doesn’t beat her.



  6. Bessie Mento on June 27, 2021 at 7:43 pm

    Ms Cooper,I would n’t celebrate quite yet. Some jerk playing pretend will be allowed to beat you out of a spot. This insanity needs to stop.

  9. Jamison Roberts on June 27, 2021 at 7:45 pm

    … and then proceeds to fail in making the team. An unfortunate ending, but this was a nice performance.



  10. Pete Livingston on June 27, 2021 at 7:45 pm

    This made me cry, to be able to push yourself, with no one to impel you along but yourself, amazing, truly amazing.

    Another New Balance runner w/a great performance. Well done young lady!



  38. vampiresforesl on June 27, 2021 at 8:25 pm

    Why are the announcers acting as if she’s breaking a world record?



  39. Steven Costas on June 27, 2021 at 8:29 pm

    If she met the Olympic qualifying standard, why did she not qualify for the Olympics???
    It seems to me that if she met the qualifying time, then she qualified, and should therefore be going to the Olympics. I’m confused. What’s the Olympic qualifying standard for if you can run that time and still not qualify???



  40. Frank S on June 27, 2021 at 8:31 pm

    She should be getting the attention that disgusting Megan Rapinoe gets.



  41. Loafer69 Keysndrums on June 27, 2021 at 8:33 pm

    Great stuff.



  42. John Meyer on June 27, 2021 at 8:33 pm
