(사진)미국의 육상선수 애비 다고스티노가 뉴질랜드의 니키 햄블린으로 부터 부축을 받고 있다.
16일 열린 여자 5천m 예선에서 미국과 뉴질랜드 선수가 서로 충돌해 넘어지고 말았다.
그러나 미국 선수가 부상으로 일어나지 못하자 뉴질랜드 선수는 경기를 포기하고 미국 선수를
부축해주는 감동스러운 장면이 연출됐다.
경기를 포기하려 했던 두선수는 다시 참여해 완주했다.
이들은 경기가 끝난 뒤 "끝까지 경기를 완주해서 기쁘다"며 서로를 부둥켜 안았다.
경기위원회는 고의로 넘어진 것이라 아니라고 판정해 두사람 모두 예선을 통과시켰다.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil – While competing in the Olympics, every athlete wants to perform at their best.
Sometimes, other things are simply more important than finishing in first place.
Just over 3,000 meters into a semifinal of the women’s 5,000 meter race, two runners got tangled up and fell to the track.
As New Zealand’s Nikki Hamblin tripped and fell to the track, Abbey D’Agostino from the United States couldn’t avoid the collision.
After falling to the ground, D’Agostino helped Hamblin to her feet in order to continue the race.
D’Agostino finished two full minutes behind the winner, ending up in last place. Amazingly, she will be allowed to advance to the final on Friday since the collision was unavoidable and not her fault.
“I’m so grateful for Abbey doing that for me,” Hamblin said after the race. “That girl is the Olympic spirit right there.”
