D’Agostino and Hamblin help each other finish
The true Olympic spirit shone through when Abbey D’Agostino of the US and Nikki Hamblin of New Zealand fell to the ground during their 5000m heat.
D’Agostino managed to get up, but rather than speeding off, she stopped and helped Hamblin to her feet.
But the American was injured and had difficulty completing the race, so Hamblin supported her and the pair finished the race together. They were awarded the Pierre de Courbertin prize for sporting behaviour.
