Not only did she break the world record, she did so AFTER she failed to make to Olympic team. To come back and break one of the highest coveted records in track and field is nothing short of phenomenal and speaks to her champion mindset. Her perfection physically and technically is surpassed only by her mentality. You can also see how much she is respected from the love she received from her competitors. Congratulations Ms. Harrison!!!! You are the greatest!

The Humility upon winning was awesome on its own, and then the realization of it being a world record just made the moment classic.

Failed to make the Rio team, comes back, and gets a world record Mad respect. Well done!

I love seeing the happiness on Ali and Talay's faces when they they're looking at the screen with Kendra.

holy shit! Im looking at this shit in real time and her legs are a fucking blur. THIS IS SOME ROAD RUNNER LEVEL SHIT DUDE. AMAZING.

After close to 30 years the record of Yordanka Donkova was finally broken by................one hundred of a second!

This was the 2016 Olympic gold, silver and bronze medalists she destroyed like that

I met her today !! She’s an angel

To break a world record in track and field is a great achievement and very rarely done, especially when the record was 28 years old and was set by east European athlete in the 1980s, when the doping was the norm there. It is much harder to achieve than to win an Olympic gold. There are many times more Olympic gold medalist than world record holders. I don't recall any other occurrence of an athlete, from the US or any other country, broke the world record one month before the Olympics but not allowed to compete in the games. I think this is unprecedented. If the US doesn't send her to the Olympics, I think the IOC should make a special invitation to invite her to compete as an individual athlete. Without her, this year's Olympic women's 100m hurdle champion will forever have an asterisk next to it.

The difference in reactions between Nia Ali and Brianna Rollins. One embraced her with joy, one walked away with indifference.

This made tears roll down my face. Sisters have been inundated with such disrespect for the past few years. But we tend to strive anyway. Yay! My warriors, my sisters!

best female hurdler I've ever seen. America's tripping a world record should give you an exception.

This BeIn channel commentator has better comment and experience than BBC version

The cameraman misses the moment she first realises and sees her time 🙄 Thank goodness for the second angle.

I would not be surprised if she broke her own record this year. She spoke in one of the conferences saying that she could possibly run sub 12. A huge leap, but with her, I think the fastest time she can produce would be a sub 12.1 Truly remarkable

Her hips stay at the same high that converts to less distance you have to cover, if you Hop and skip over hurdles it adds precious time, all said she has near perfect technique, truely outstanding performance, well done.

Literally the G.O.A.T 🐐

goosebumps, fantastic achievement!!

That was a record I thought would never fall in my lifetime.

My eyes could not even catch up on the tv screen, it was real fast.

This is just really messed up !!! So she freaking breaks the WR in 100mH which stood since 1988 and she is not allowed to go to the Olympics !! ???? There should be a rule that anyone who breaks a WR automatically goes to the OG !

She will be one of the few World Class athletes healthy at the end of August. god help the rest of 'em.

she's the uncrowned queen. such a shame she hasn't had the opportunity to show that on the world stage. i hope she qualifies for tokyo 2020 and takes the gold because, in my opinion, she's the best women's sprinter in the world.

Who ever was in charge of camera shots that the viewers see should be fired! Why, oh, why didn't we see Kendra hearing the news that she had broken the record in real time. A few seconds is the difference between a great shot and not!

THE PERFECT RACE - Fantastic Girl - so well deserved .

Beautiful moment. Amazing race. Poor girl that fell. Is just a race. Life goes on.. congratulations to the winners

I think the most amazing thing about Kendra Harrison is that she's ran this time (12:20) twice

It took 28 years to break Bulgarian record of Donkova from 1988! And the record was improved with just 0.01 seconds! 0.01 seconds for 28 years!

This performance reminds me of Florence Griffith..........I hope it is clean like pure water.....

Espetacular!! ❤❤parabéns Kendra!! 😊 Brasil

This upload is poor quality. 1080 HD is the standard. Kendra did not play, she came to slay. 😜

Why do I cry woth Kenny ? I Love you Kendra.

Olympic medals come and go. But World Records are forever.

love the reaction at the end

This is year 2016. So, why is this video so freakin blurry??

She set the track on fire that night!

Ali has a gorgeous smile

well done young lady, well done! God's love and blessings!!!

brilliant...made me cry

This is just ridiculous!! She breaks the world record but will not be allowed to go to The Olympic's!! That is just plain stupid. She should of been given a wild card to participate!

The commentator said thank God it's gone.

Happy for you

She was good at Clemson University too, then solidified her foundation at Kentucky.

Parabéns

She was moving, and so smooth like she would have beat me running beside her with out the hurdles.

So happy for her

They are all happy, the runners.

This has to be the most perfect race in history

watching while reading comments 2018

go go Harrison well done

My best time for that event is 18.20 🙃

If you run this video side-by-side to Amusan's "newer" world record in 2022, you'll see Kendra was faster, and matches the unoifficial timer on the screen and what you get if you put the video on 0.25 speed and time it with a stop watch. Kendra got a raw deal from the official timer.

sensational!!

Wow, and that is how you do it.

Domination!!🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

When the one runner fell, looks like her speed got transferred to Harrison. The gap just started getting wider right after that.

How crazy is that!! She breaks the world record and still wasn’t allowed to go to the Olympics!! Just messed up. Any other country would have move earth and water to send her to the Olympics! She should have received a Wild card !!

It's actually 12.1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jeez and im struggling to make it under 21

When Brianna Rollins is on form, she's the best I've seen.

look at how fast her legs clear the hurdles.. literal blurs...what the fuck. it will be a while until any beats that, so little room to improve that time and technique.

Kendra is probably the greatest talent in this event we've ever seen. But don't expect to see her at the Olympics! Between the American selection system and the stupidity of the Olympic organisers, T&F fans are being denied the best the in the world at the Olympics! If the Olympic games is not about the best athletes in the world competing against each other...what's the point.

Jasmin went down HARD

wow she needs to be in Rio...

7:08 A beautiful moment

Kinda wonder what her time would be in 100m 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Wtf I never knew jess ennis hill ran 100m hurdles as a main event

what a ride

Kinda is dope

At 12.1 her whole body was past the finish line. Pause the video for yourself she's been robbed.

That was Kendra Harrison night no doubts .Im sure that all those she left behind bringing up the rear while looking at Ms.Harrison rear from start to finish also agrees.That women cleared those hurdles like Hell um let me think,The best I can say once she lifted her right leg stretched it straight out then just glided over those hurdles she knew it was her race to WIN.A new world record one hundredth of a second better. So what,for now it's her's to beat .Lady Gazelle the name.

I am really wondering about Kendra Harrison. Does not the Team USA Official give an exceptional card or a wild card to those cases for the Olympics? I am not an American but Americans have to use their sense and get this powerful runner out there to destroy records at Rio.

Ridiculous error of OMEGA

She actually finished at 3:20.01 pause the video

congratulation black Queen

She could have broken the straight 100 meter dash moving that fast.

Usually girls that do hurdles at my school get 18-27 seconds

The idiots who decided what images we see clearly weren't following what was happening. The fact that Kendra was so far ahead was a huge clue that something special had happened but rather than concentrating on her, we see an image of an athlete who didn't even finish the race, It's not good enough.

She's beautiful 😍😍😍

So cute reaction

9Gag brought me here

Showers always falling😂😂😂

Kendra Harrison has a Finnish grandmother.

"Kenny Harrison in lane 6" Huh? 1:30

I thought the WR was 10.49?

what happened with the clock? bad time for it to screw up.

I believe she went,faster!!!???….

She won the race and set a new world record however 12.2sec isn't it...

Why do the men run 110 meters and the women 100 meters in the hurdles?

I am in love with all of our lady hurdlers ! ------------Female sprinters & hurdlers, are THE most beautiful female athletes on the planet. They have the most perfect bodies , & I am in love with all of them ! ------------KUDOS to Keni Harrision !! --------------------------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o

USA< USA

Running starts at 2:41 you’re welcome

So she can run with 9. Normal hundred meters

Wow, you mean to tell me she's not going to Rio? I just watched her a few weeks ago win the finals in the Olympic trials. Someone's ass needs to be fired.

Jess got smoked.

downvoted for the terrible quality

please don't be on drugs.

Kendra has a weak psyche. Starts fantastic at the meetings. But when it has to compete for a specific goal or medal .... then the racing completely do not go out. This proved during the US Trials 2015 and in the finals of this year's World Cup. Kendra is the fastest but not the best.

'high' hurdles for the women is a total joke, they can basically just run over them. Nice springy tracks, it's a great feat to beat an old record by someone shall we say maybe have been on it, still we need to raise the height of the women's hurdles by 4 inches at least.

SHE IS ACTUALLY ON THE FINISH LIKE AT 12:00...Pause and check for yourself!This is kinda robbed.The record is not 12:20 but 12:00 ...The officials and electronic monitoring were sleeping
