Dalilah Muhammad - what an incredible lady. Forget her physical abilities folks. She's just a great spirit. You can tell the energy of a person, but their gravitational pull and kinetic magnetism. Win lose or draw, Dalilah seems to be 24-karat the real deal.
She’s an amazing athlete and an amazing soul!!
Appreciate Dalilah’s humility and determination.
Not too many athletes of her stature are that humble. What you see is who she is. She’s also a big focus in our other series Boogie Down. You should check it out!
she is an absolute gem!
She is one of my favorite track and field athletes. She just so down to earth
I have been following track & field for around 40 years. Dalilah Muhammad is among my top 5 all-time in terms of my level of respect and admiration for a track athlete.
She is a class act. True role model! And an incredible, consistently great athlete
Dalilah, Thank you for continuing to be proud of your Muslim heritage and you represent the community with such dignity. I am so thankful your family saw your talent and allowed for you to share it with the world. As a Black female, yes ma'am!! You represent for us every time you step on the track! Much love and respect!
Dalilah is a gift. I hope folks appreciate her talent, her spirit, her poise & her beauty
We’re witnessing greatness… and what a rivalry. This will be special to see leading to world’s in 2022. We’ll be documenting it!
Dalilah Muhammad stole my heart the first time I saw her race and the interview that follow.❤️👍
A lot of people don’t realise how important her talk about religion is to young Muslim women. Dalilah is amazing, stay blessed queen ❤️ inshallah
Straight from the heart.
I’m such a BIG FAN OF THIS QUEEN
Exactly!!
You and I both brother. She is all that and then some...
So am I!!!
We are too! She's amazing! Great athlete and true role model!!
@@edmund6392 She sure is... we feature her in our other series, Boogie Down. You should check it out!
Olympic champion. World champion. World record holder. Everything that Sydney has accomplished up to now, Delilah already did before her. “Iron sharpens iron!”
Dalilah might be the quickest and most aggressive hurdler I’ve ever seen. A great thing to watch
It's sick how people are now-a-days.
I can't find her Rio Olympics or Tokyo Olympics video.they literally didn't post it or removed it ,I don't know.
Work hard,Dalilah you rock , nothing can stop you to win in paris 2024 inshallah.
Yes, I noticed that too. I like Sydney, but I can't help but notice how she's being pushed everywhere for being the world record holder but Dalila wasn't. Hmmm...
World records and wins dont have to happen in Olympics
@@kamilahdouglas1609 I noticed something similar. Delilah had all the titles and broken the WR twice and yet her face wasn’t emblazoned everywhere. I’m a huge fan of Sydney. But it’s clear what’s going on.
@@CHEETAH69 Oh yeah. It's clear as day. The media is going to promote certain people over others.
I was discussing this issue with another commenter. I searched high and low for Dalilah's Rio race and finally found one video from a French broadcast. I watched those games, yet, I don't remember that race. All I know is, the announcers focused on Sydney even back then. I certainly don't begrudge the attention on Sydney, but don't understand why it needed to be at Dalilah's expense. Such a sad commentary.
An icon. A legend. A STAR.
I’m so glad Dalilah is speaking about the obvious colorism, racism and bias that affects our sport and plays a part in who gets recognition or shine. I’m certain it’s super personal for her.
These days, she's able to be in complete control of everything. Fuk some insecure bums. And if she's not personally in control, we have entirely too much clout and renown to let anyone control or even influence anything about US. No one to look at but ourselves for accepting this bs. The full reality is we've had the ability to control how we're portrayed. and more importantly, how we See ourselves, since 1900. But Victim Addicts ain't ready for that....
I never noticed... Every famous athlete I can remember (besides FloJo who had a short carreer anyway) was dark-skinned. Evelyn Ashford, Gail Devers, Inger Miller,Gwen Torrence, Carmelita Jeter, Tori Bowie, Sanya Richards, Tiana Bartoletta in long jump etc. even the younger ones. Sha'carri Richardson has a lot of exposure. Let alone the Jamaicans. Track and field has actually been dominated by dark skinned athletes since forever.
I don't get what the colorism is about.
@@jessycam111 you listed those who were probably the most successful or fastest. Colorism won’t affect that. I know track isn’t the most popular sport in the country but ashford was the WR holder and Olympic champion. Name anyone who knows her outside of track?
yeah, i definitely noticed the emphasis on Allyson and Sydney this games...FAR more than Dalilah. while both Allyson and Sydney are obviously extraordinary...so is Dalilah. yes, Athing Mu was also featured quite a bit, but, Allyson and Sydney were definitely emphasized most of all. its more than obvious that colorism was at play.
@charlie ward And please feel free to let me know what percentage of Black Americans specialize in distance running? 🤔
Kenyan runners have sponsors right?...
I don't find it honest to point out to colorism in every situation, especially not in a discipline where Black-Black people are the most represented. Besides Dafne Schippers, who is not even famous in the States, which white person had it easier to become a sprinter among black athletes?
I mean it is one of the rare fields where Black people are the ones brought to light. And people are still complaining. Crazy.
As far as I know Allyson Felix is the most decorated track and field athlete and she is at the end of her career. She deserves a little bit of recogniton. Are we really gonna say that it's because her skin tone is lighter. Let's be fair sometimes.
Dalilah is such a great ambassador to the sport of track and field, I’ve enjoyed watching her compete so much the last 5 years ❤️❤️❤️
Class act!
How in the heck are there so many beautiful runners?!?!? So many, I've lost count. Vogue magazine needs to pay attention.
it does seem like runners are hotter than ever
They take care of their bodies.
@@tyler-hp7oq it aint just that!
This channel needs more attention GREAT TRACK CONTENT
Thanks, don’t forget to tell your friends! 😂
Humble, talented and an inspiration to many young athletes.
Beautiful inside and outside. Mad love and great respect. Keep doing your thing Dalilah Muhammad
Dalliah Muhammad is ONE of the GREATEST athletes that I have ever seen. To break her own Track and Field 400m hurdles World Records back-to-back is incredible. She definitely sketched herself down in history, so she is ALREADY the living example of the role model she wants to see inspire all youth, especially young black girls. #blackwomenmagic 🏃🏿♀️💨🏆🏅🥇👸🏿🔮🪄
Very true! A quiet role model. Consistently great. We're going to continue to follow her and the squad later this year and throughout next year. Also putting out more content that didn't make it into this episode!
@@WorldsGreatest That's great!!!!! I appreciate the great content you put on your channel, and I am looking forward to watching future videos that you put out!!!!! 😊
Thank you! Be sure to subscribe and tell your friends. We appreciate your enthusiasm for our work!!
@@WorldsGreatest Yes, I am already subscribed, and I let my friends know about your channel and the amazing content on it!!!!! 😊
Great piece and glad some shine was given and look forward to seeing her in the 2024 Olympics. Dalilah make things happen and goes hard from the beginning to the end. Such a BEAUTY filled with humility. Overall, I was rooting for Dalilah, Sifan and Athing (too bad NBC did a shitty coverage and was annoyed constantly switching channels to watch. Man! Cable companies are such pimps. I miss the old days of broadcasting the Olympics).
Thanks! We really loved producing this, getting to know these amazing women. Much more to come! BTW, have you watched our other series, Boogie Down? It's a deeper look inside their training group.
Continue to be the best you can be with Ģod as your main foundation.
It's so inspirational watching her. I look at where she is now and I flashback to the 2011 when I saw her run the 400mh at NCAA west prelims where she finished 8th. She walked ahead of me as we left the track and I remember thinking, this girl is so consistent, not the best (then) but consistently in the mix. Of the zillion things that live in my mind, I can't help but smile and think back at this moment when I see her tearing it up now. Makes me feel somewhat apart of her journey.
That’s a really cool story to share. We’ll share that with Dalilah next time we see her.
Love Dalilah ,she is simply special. what An Athlete, what a pure Lady
“A vessel” I love that. Great to see her placing her faith in God
Her personality was contagious! Beautiful!
Dalilah is so gracious and humble.
I loved this so much!!!
The ORIGINAL 400m hurdle star!! Anyone after her is in her shadow!!
💯
Congratulations on your success! Keep pushing...
Love Sydney but Daliilah did receive the same recognition it was like they couldn’t wait for Sydney to win she has way more coverage when they both could have won the gold nothing against the ladies it’s just how the media views them differently
Traditional media chooses who they want to focus on way in advance. It’s a disservice to the fans… so many great stories to tell! That’s what we’re all about. We’re posting new episodes daily!
What a role model for All People!
Phenomenal athlete
Love her so much on and off the track! Blessings to her ❤️
What an athlete! I love watching Dalilah and Sydney duke it out.
That was cool to watch
You don't realize how fast she and the other professional men and women are until you see them on the practice circuit. The angles and background really bring it home. She's the consummate professional and classic American Champion- like Carl Lewis, Mo Greene, Jackie Joyner Kersey, Allyson Felix and so many others. I don't blame the lamestream fake news media for their ignorance and superficiality. I blame US for not telling the individual paths to greatness that we take., on our terms.
You are so right! It’s astonishing to see in person.
My favorite 400m hurdler hands down
Modest and driven, passionate and strong… just a remarkable athlete and person
I'm a huge fan,all the best
Dalilah, you are Awesome!!!
Dalilah Muhammad, great respect for you!
Love your humility and desire to help others in your field of sport....
No ego whatsoever. Cool to see!
H-U-G-E THANKS DALILAH! STRONG & POWERFUL IN E-V-E-R-Y WAY--THAT'S WHO YOU ARE! YOUR BEAUTY IS ELECTRIC! FLAWLESS (!) THAT DARK CHOCOLATE MAKES A BROTHER NOTICE HARD--MY GOODNESS! Y-E-A-H! GO OUT AND KEEP CHANGING THE WORLD MY SISTER!
You ladies are fantastic! Keep shining! I only walk around, Prospect Pk, in NYC & I'm ready to drop. Their strength, stamina & determination motivates my lazy behind. CONGRATULATION!!!!!!
Colorism is very REAL in Track n Field. If you pay close attention Delilah is often not given the respect and coverage that she has EARNED compared to other athletes. It’s blatantly obvious if you compare Delilah and “you know who”.
Can we all just love Daliah and Sydney equally without bashing one or the other. They’re both the GOATS.
I literally had no idea but that’s no surprise. Colorism literally permeates every facet of our society. Side note, she’s beautiful!
Umm…Inayah, you are speaking facts. I peeped it the entire Olympics. I look forward to seeing her compete in 2024 because she goes hard and make things happen. I cannot believe she is 31. She looks great!!!
And I think Daliah is beautiful. A really gorgeous woman in all ways. I appreciate the respect and love they both have for each other. Daliah is my favorite. But I love Sydney also.
@@baseball0681
Quite honestly, out with the color thing and just enjoy these two great athletes .
I’m definitely a Dalilah fan!!
We are too! One of our favorites to shoot with. Have you watched our other series, Boogie Down? We feature her in that series, too.
@@WorldsGreatest I just watched I loved it and I subscribed👍🏿
Wow small world!
I knew Dalilah was from New York but I didn’t know she was from Rochdale Village in Queens!
I’m a Queens girl too!
Back in the day I used to have friends and family that lived in Rochdale Village.
So cool! This is what we love about telling these stories… seems we’re all a few degrees away from an Olympian and we just don’t know it.
@@WorldsGreatest
Degrees and many decades apart!🙂
I'm old enough to be Dalilah's mother!
Great things come out of New York
I agree drag them out to the deep water...love DM. Sub 52 is amazing
We saw her in a lot of practices and that deep water never fazed her for a minute. Amazing to witness!
Really like what she's about.
I don’t think there is anything more beautiful then an athletic female in motion.. Stunning 🙏
Dalilah just glides around that track. Really cool to watch. And let’s not overlook Gianna. She made the finals and just a few weeks prior her knee was swollen like a grapefruit
A strong black motivated well-spoken young woman. We grow them very well in Queens.
Delilah Muhammad is gorgeous!
You’re such an incredible women Dalilah ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏾🙏🏾
They don’t come classier than Dalilah! Btw, we feature her in our other series, Boogie Down. An inside look at her and the rest of the crew in the lead up to Tokyo
She is an amazing human.
Excellence personified!
awesome ! awesome ! awesome !
Thank you! I am so pulling for you to overcome the world and realize the potential that God has placed in you. It is so blatantly obvious that the media (even black commentators are deliberately trying to downplay your accomplishments and thrust someone else as “the face of the sport”. They did a similar thing with Evelyn Ashford and Flo Jo (who couldn’t hold a candle to Evelyn without doping). I love all of my sisters. I pray that you and Sydney can be above the media and proactively support each other. I think it shameful that the media never mentions that both of you ran under the world record at the olympics. You are Gifted, Beautiful, Intelligent and are celebrated. I celebrate all that you ladies represent. Keep your mind free and be above this world. They didn’t create you and they cannot define you! God did and He doesn’t place limits on His children. Be above the world and always feel the face of God smiling down on you when you run and live in His presence.
such a queen
Congrats being gold medal Olympic winner hard work Paine off for here in 2021 Tokyo
Dalilah😍
4:08 ↩️🥁🥁🥁
Pure Inspiration on so many levels! I call her Chocolate Silk because she’s so smooth in her running form. Stay hungry Dalilah!
Awesome role model. Keep it up.
Queen
she is beautiful! but more beautiful when she is running. I still don't understand why her olympic GOLD race in Rio has still not been uploaded as at now. meanwhile 2021 race is uploaded
Strange that it isn’t on UA-cam. We feature Dalilah a lot in our other series “Boogie Down.” Have you watched that yet?
@@WorldsGreatest good will check it Up
#ThankYou @DalilahMuhammad_ for representing #USA and #Congrats on Your #Olympic #Achievements!! #KeepItGoing #WomenLeaders!
She's a true ambassador for the sport!
Amazing 💪❤️
🐐🐐🐐🐐
True Role Model 🌻🌻🌻🌻
💯
Legs and Knowledge... beautiful ❤️
I just think she’s hot! And a great runner.
I love you lady Delilah
Delilah gave me my olympic glory. Her 3rd leg gave me crazy goose bumps. I was so proud of the ladies. But there was something about delilahs take off when she got the baton. I keep watching that relay. She killed it.
@@cynthiacromwell8002 In my 60 years of running track experience, she should have led off!
Is Sydney referring to Dalilah?
Gianna you sound jus like Yasmin 😊
🔥🔥
Subhanallah
Monsta
I hope the Truth will speak to her one day.
🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦
You are loved! You have purpose!Jesus died for you and loves you! We didn’t deserve someone to give up His life for us YET Jesus did, He didn’t die for us because we have lovely attributes like beauty, Jesus did it because of how good HE is not because we are good and deserve it. He died because we are sinners and damned to hell with no way out and Jesus stepped in to save us living a perfect life. He lovesss you and wants a relationship with you. We are only saved through our faith and true faith results in repentance. God bless you! 💕 Romans 10:9, Romans 5:8, 1 John 1:5, Acts 26:18.
You can actually tell that that dude isn't a great coach, just lucky
😂😂😂😂😂😂lucky at coaching?
Take a look at the end of the last episode. All of his results are there. Boogie’s record speaks for itself.
🇵🇦🇵🇦❤
Dallilah may be a bit lighter.
She at her best now...
are those girls studying in Arkansas?
They were training there since Texas had terrible winter weather. Boogie’s brother Chris is the head coach at Arkansas. So they trained together for a few weeks.
The ten flock electrophysiologically mark because staircase kelly wrestle to a fanatical shirt. combative, hesitant sky
Easier for white athletes? In track? Like who? Smh
So..Dalilah is saying that somehow it's more difficult for American black athletes to reach the top in track & field??...Is this a joke??? There are hardly any white athletes in the sprint events....What is she talking about??!!...LOL
There's favoritism of course.
She is talking about recognition, endorsements and media coverage. Case in Point, Serena vs Sharapova in Tennis. Even though the dark skin athletes are at the top, they don't get the same amount of recognition and endorsements as their white/light skin mediocre competitors.
It's more difficult to reach the top of any profession as a person of color... so track and field is no different. That said, walking a mile in Dalilah's shoes is the only way for you to know her journey and what she has been through.
