Olympic runners Nikki Hamblin (New Zealand) and Abbey D’Agostino (USA) were well into the 5,000m heat when a collision sent them both hurtling to the ground. Abbey opted against giving chase to the rest of the pack in order to help rival runner Hamblin back upright. 

D’Agostino however, hit the ground seconds later with an injury of her own. Despite urging the other runner onward, Hamblin returned the favour of stopping to help and wouldn’t continue the race until her competitor was back on her feet. Both were determined to finish, undeterred by the fact they were unlikely to put in a serious bid to qualify. 

An injured D’Agostino then went on to limp the remaining 4½ laps for a painful 7 minutes and crossed the finish line to hug the woman she had helped; who then helped her, before being carted off in a wheelchair. 

The pair had never met before, finishing with a time of 16.43 for Hamblin (29th) and 17.10 for D’Agostino (30th). Neither qualified for the upcoming final but have since been reinstated by the organisers and if fit enough, they will be allowed to compete.

For y’all newbies.  this is exactly what 2011 felt like.

This is so much worse.

The consequences of not medaling are huge. We’ve lost so much leverage in the CBA negotiations. We’ve lost our perfect medaling record, those projected revenue surpluses may not happen, and there is not going to be a boost in the marketing value of the players. And likely no significant boost for the NWSL either.

There were no big moments (or at least none favorable to us), no emerging stars, and no impressive victories.

Sorry if I sound fatalistic, but we had so much riding on this.

I would like to say I’m shocked but this is just another example of Jill Ellis putting one player above the rest of the team

And it cost her team an Olympic medal

[remijayy-deactivated20181026]

Jill has fucked up any confidence Christen would have built up over the years. She barely had her starting in games, had her playing in positions Christen herself said she wasn’t comfortable in instead of her striker position, subbed her in games with hardly any time left… Then puts her in for a game changing penalty at the Olympics?

The amount of pressure put on someone who is known to lack in confidence. I’m so heart broken for Christen.

We all know she gets in her head and will be beating herself up over this for so long and it hurts so bad to know that

Should’ve known poor coaching choices would fuck us over from the beginning when we gave a spot to an injured player
