Warning: These Female Athlete Fails Are So Awful, You Can’t Look Away…

The Real Winners

As the poster child for good sportsmanship, 5,000 meter New Zealand runner Nikki Hamblin threw the race at the 2016 Olympics after accidentally being tripped by Abbey D’Agostino. Seeing that Hamblin was down for the count, D’Agostino goes back and actually helped pick her up off of the track. As both runners proceeded with the race, it was obvious that D’Agostino had sustained a leg injury from the incident as she limped to the finish line.

Both runners were praised for their sportsmanship, even though Hamblin finished 16th and D’Agostino limped in at last place. When D’Agostino first helped Hamblin up after the initial incident, Hamblin told reporters that her competitor told her, “Get up, get up, we have to finish this.”
