Emma Coburn
She is the most accomplished female athlete in her industry, yet she remains relatively unknown to the general public. Why is that? The field and track world seldom captures the attention of the average person, and the steeplechase event is particularly overlooked unless one is a dedicated fan.
Coburn has set an American record in the 3000-meter steeplechase. Remarkably, she became the first American woman to win a medal in this event, earning a bronze at the 2016 Olympics and a gold at the 2019 World Championships.
