Kathy Smith's daughter wins the 800 Meter Run Olympic Trials

I subscribe to Kathy Smith's newsletter or whatever it is, & she had said her daughter was running in the 800 Meters at the Olympic trials. Well, I didn't think to watch for it on t.v., although I'm a huge Olympics fan & have been since I was little--I wanted to be in the Olympics--anyway, her daughter won & will be going to the Olympics. Kathy shared the video of it, it was fun to watch, & yes, she does look like Kathy, although she's got a distance runners body & brown hair, not blonde. I have to say I would not like running in a group of people all trying to get to the front. Sprinting, where everyone is in their own lane is more up my alley.

I saw that - so happy for Kathy and her daughter, especially so close to their sister/aunt passing away.

Her profile on the IAAF site

Also on the site:

A report from yesterday, July 5: "Eventful 800m finals won by Grace and Murphy at US Olympic Trials"

A 2014 piece about her relationship with her mother: "Mum Knows Best"

Quote:
Kate Grace is the 2013 US Road Mile champion and a World Relays 4x1500m silver medallist, but she's still only the second most famous person in her family. Her mum, Kathy Smith, is a fitness icon, and has sold more than 16 million fitness videos. Kate tells us how her mother helped shape her career.

That is so cool. I just posted a couple of days on another thread that I often wonder about what happened to the kids born to pregnant women in workout videos and if they picked about the exercise habit. Now I know! Her mom must be so proud.

Maybe they watched a lot of British tv shows or cinema? All it took was a year of watching British shows for "bloody hell" to become a permanent part of my vocabulary (among others). I say it no less than 10 times a day.


Maybe they have/had British relatives/heritage? Some families just have their own particular lexicon.
