Emma Coburn, the 2017 World champion and 2019 silver medalist in the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase along with a 10-time U.S. champion and 2016 Olympic bronze medalist, joins DyeStat editor Erik Boal to discuss making her fifth appearance at the World Championships, competing July 16 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. Coburn, 31, reflects on her first global appearance at the World final and placing eighth in 2011 in South Korea, and despite an injury in 2013, her presence on every U.S. team to compete at an international championship since. She expresses gratitude for the opportunities to share a suite in Daegu with Allyson Felix and now to be a teammate one final time with the most decorated female athlete in World Championships history, in addition to celebrating the success of another 36-year-old American standout in Kara Winger, who is making her sixth World Championships appearance in the javelin. Coburn also explains how significant it is to have Team Boss athletes Cory McGee (1,500) and Emma Bates (marathon) on the U.S. roster, along with friend and training partner Dominique Scott (10,000) representing South Africa in Oregon. She also shares how meaningful it is to have all three American athletes who have medaled in the 3,000 steeplechase, with Evan Jager, Courtney Frerichs and Coburn, all competing at the same global meet for the first time since 2017. Coburn speaks about the rise of reigning NCAA Division 1 champion Courtney Wayment, a former Brigham Young standout now representing On Athletics Club, and her presence on the U.S. team along with the American record holder Frerichs, and the overall depth of the event, with Gabbi Jennings and Katie Rainsberger both training with Team Boss. Coburn revisits her disappointing result in Tokyo, which led to a disqualification in the Olympic final, and rebounding to win a 10th career national title June 26 in front of family and friends at Hayward Field. She also shares how inspiring it will be to race on home soil and how valuable it is to have the meet so close to Colorado in terms of travel and training for the event.
