olympicsdaily: Abbey D'Agostino and Nikki Hamblin show true Olympic spirit after crash “Abbey D’Agostino of the United States and Nikki Hamblin of New Zealand were involved in a collision that effectively ended any dreams of contending in Tuesday’s 5,000m qualifier. D’Agostino fell while running in the middle of the pack, it caused her to clip Hamblin and they tumbled to the ground. D’Agostino went to Hamblin’s aid and made sure she was OK. When the two rose to their feet, D’Agostino’s leg buckled and she twice fell to the track. Returning the earlier favor, Hamblin stayed behind to make sure D’Agostino could stay on her feet. It wasn’t until D’Agostino showed a bit of stability that Hamblin rejoined the race while the American runner made a determined effort to finish on her own. D’Agostino hobbled her way through her remaining laps with a pained look on her face. When she finished (two minutes behind the heat’s winner), Hamblin was there to greet her with a hug.” -- source link
