We replaced the original youtube video with our interview which has an extra 20 seconds.
Bud she just finished in the toughest place anyone can finish in any domestic race in the US after leading 10.5 laps. Maybe we give her tone a break this time around

Agree. Watching it, at first I thought it might be borderline snarky but then you quickly realize how silly some of the questions are.
I don’t think I’d have the same patience as some of these athletes.
I just watched the interview and legitimately have no idea what the criticism is for. She was appropriately respectful and repeatedly used words like grateful/thankful/proud of myself/happy to be here. The only response that could possibly be construed as “snappy” or like the reporter was asking the wrong question was the first one where the interviewer assumed she’d been targeting the Olympic standard, and I believe her when she says she wasn’t, she was just giving herself her best shot and that means running 14:50ish from the front in her current shape. She got the same question after the NCAA 5k and answered that she wasn’t targeting the standard, so that may be where the “again”comes from, though in fairness the interviewer may not have seen that.

shes still an unexperienced runner and gets surrounded by track nerds asking her very specific questions about things shes obviously doesnt consider or think about, or know to think about. every time they ask her about her plan and she tells them there is no plan- why do they keep asking!
