Mad props for Kenneth. Dudes a beast. Went up against the world champion who is taller and has longer legs towards the end. Took the silver. Kenneth is a beast!! 🦁🇺🇸

That was one of the most intense races I’ve ever witnessed

U.S. middle distance running is on a roll! So exciting to watch.
-
This has been the best Olympics ever for US middle distance running. Absolutely astonishing.
-
I've been a fan of Rooks ever since his comeback win after a fall at U.S. nationals last year. I didn't think he would be able to get a medal here since the U.S. isn't usually competitive at this event, but never count out a man with that much heart!

Rooks ran that race like an absolute hero! Props to El Bakkali as well I've been watching him earn champion status for a while now.

After watching the women’s steeplechase yesterday, I was like there’s no way the Americans can win this event. But holy crap was I wrong? One of the most exciting races I have ever watched .have been a big fan of Kenneth Rooks for a long time.

Way to go Kenneth! I was crying and smiling with 2 laps to go. USA with a silver in the men's steeplechase! WOW!
