“New Zealander Nikki Hamblin and American Abbey D’Agostino were competing in the women’s 5,000-metre semifinal when a collision ended with them both on the ground.

The runners tripped over each other midway through the race in an ugly collision. D’Agostino was first to her feet, but waited to help Hamblin up as well. It was only when the pair began to run again that D’Agostino realised she had injured her knee – a rupture of her anterior cruciate ligament.

D’Agostino ushered Hamblin on, telling the New Zealander to continue the race. The two embraced once more on the finish line, where D’Agostino had to be pushed in a wheelchair due to her injury.”
